    At three months you have barely reached the “it’s OK to fart in their presence” stage. God knows how long this will last following the first good Indian meal.

    she gets away with farting in her partner’s presence – without the required 3 month relationship building phase – by tattooing a massive rose all over her bottie.

    people everywhere who suffer from embarrassing bedroom flatulence should be inspired.
