There was a commercial years ago, I think done by Tractor Supply Company. This family is sitting down for dinner, and their dog is laying down under the table. The father is asking the blessing on the meal (it wasn't Archie Bunker's 'Bless the meat, damn the skin, open your kisser, and cram it in!!'), and soon as he says "Amen!", the dog bounds away from under the table, like he has spotted his hunting quarry. It turns out that the family is eating all these "fart producing foods" (beans, cabbage, legumes, etc.), which would cause "a green haze afterwards". :P The dog bounds up the stairs and into the bedrooms. He opens the dresser drawers and starts digging around. After several drawers, he finally finds what he is looking for...a gas mask!! He runs down stairs with it on him (I'd like to know how he put it on himself), then lays back down under the table. Then, the announcer comes in, and says "We have what you need". It's also like the meme, where the dog is standing on the chest of his owner, and he growls "If you quit snoring, I'll quit farting". Everyone, male and female, man and beast does it...from as little at 15 times a day, to as much as 20 times an hour (I'd like to know how much of our tax money was used to determine that). Two years before my wife died (she has been gone 18 1/2 years now), she and I were "intimately occupied" on the Futon bed, and our dachshund was in his bed on the floor next to us. All of a sudden, this horrid stench permeated our nostrils...the dog had dropped a silent but deadly SBD methane bomb fart!! I started gagging, and my wife was laughing uncontrollably, saying "You know he's down there thinking 'Hee hee hee. Ignore my @$$, will you??!!'". Any love making went out the window, and I had to get dressed, and take the little booger out for a walk. My guess was that he was mad that he wasn't getting our full attention, and was spoiled (as most pets are). But to many folks, their pets are their kids. Daryl .... Better give me a 6 slice pizza...I don't think I can eat 8. --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 þ Synchronet þ The Thunderbolt BBS -- Little Rock, Arkansas .
