I assure you that NOT all men find farts to be funny... anymore than I would want someone to spit on me, or sneeze all over me...

I beg to differ. My little 6 week old can shake the walls with the enormity of sound coming from her diaper. I think the diaper does little to muffle/distort and aids in vibratory resonance.

I can't help but look disgusted at someone, male or female, who farts in public.

I have a friend who is so anal retentive that she has constipation. We went on a Sierra Club Yosemite week and snow and hail forced us to move into a hotel room. I got the bed nearest the bathroom. She would sit on the john with the door open for hours farting away and then you'd hear a little tiny plop. All that work for so little return. And she loves broccoli and all those other gas inducing foods. It wasn't just then, she doesn't think it is healthy to hold it in so I ended up holding my breath the whole week. I'd like to say that I'm older and wiser now but she was just at my house and the best I managed was 'do not fart in my bedroom', which, of course, she did.

I tihnk she is proud of her farts because they are proof that she is eating healthy. Seriously.
