Gas

I ate some beans for lunch and two hours later I needed to find someplace where I could be alone. It wasn't the stink, but the sounds leaving my body. Why do things like beans, raw broccoli, soda and beer give people gas?

When I used to fly in the Navy my crew would have competitions to see who could have the loudest and stinkiest farts. I recall one time when my navigator snuck back from the cockpit laughing to beat the band. A minute or so later I heard over the intercom, "Who the f*&% shi% in my flight station?"

I used to think that farts were just a guy thing, but everyone seems to get a kick out farting. It is kind of like the Uranus jokes, they never grow old. Oops there goes one from my wife.
