I guess social distancing has its advantages, Pandemic or not. Elias and I were newly weds, married 6 weeks and we were out shopping, my tummy was rumbling, a bad sign for me, and I was a little too late to walk far enough away. Elias turned around, and said, darling, that could not have been you, I blushed but then broke down laughing, he has a sensitive nose, what can I say. I love your down to earth style of writing, thanks for the laugh. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thanks to you Jan for another great laugh. I guess if there are professional belchers why wouldn't there also be professional farters?? It makes scents, right?

Lol! The worst is when you're in a car and it's too rainy or cold to roll down the windows. Good one, Jan. Hugs ~ John

Hilarious Jan…… Never lose heart at release of a fart - When you are dining with your uncle Bart - If your trumpet melody - Blasts out silent but deadly - Keep a straight face and don’t dare fall apart…… Belle :-) x

I recall reading a scientific paper entitled, ‘Gaseous discharge of the human species and factors limiting range and diminishing potency over increasing distance, where an unfaltering trajectory can be maintained through calm weather or indoor situate.’ Fascinating read.. in summary, two metres wouldn't cut it. Sorry, Jan. Just thought you should know. Terry. [Ooh er... my nose just grew three inches ;-)]

A socially distant fart, brilliant Jan, 2 metres is definitely not enough, I’m a petty man and I reckon a radius of 4 metres for a sbd fart might just suffice, cheers David, ps captcha AT6

ha ha ha:-) we had a friend round for pizza last night and then we were practising our swing dancing as our classes have stopped over summer and i had to beat a hasty retreat to the loo - would have been 'gutted' to drop one in public lol. It was actually really interesting during the time she visited - our friend sat on one sofa, my hubby on another and i sat at the table so we were all naturally apart and when we danced it was in lines so we were distanced again, the only time we sat together was during our meal! hugs jan xx
