Re: To jump to a philosophical issue
I once had chili for lunch at work, a big can of it, and sneaked a 'silent but deadly' one out an hour or two later, and a lady nearby [about 10 to 15 years older than me] smelled it and wondered what was cooking, "smells kinda good". I carefully avoided laughing...
(yes, this really happened)
normally my ass-gas clears the room. But, rarely, it will smell like what I ate.
