When i fart *which is a lot* I dont light a match i believe in the concept of sharing lol lol lol

How nice of you....are you a secret Santa, or do you just let rip without a care? :lol:

My nose is still scarred from JohnA's noxious emissions...

Stupid is as stupid does.

I swear everyone eats extra beans before getting on a plane.

The combination of those, pressurized cabin plus recycling of air makes for a very stale environment indeed.

I approach airoplanes as I do funeral homes, with a good deal of Lavender essential oil/vicks/ any heat rub/ smeared just under the nose. Screw 'em. they're all smelly, if we lived with them we'd grow to love the smell, but personally, I think people stink. wink

PS. I just knew you'd find that story JohnA. lol
PPS, try beano or jarrowdophilus. Wind is a sorry tale blowing.

How did she get matches on the plane? Thought that was one of the forbidden items?

Because, for all the show they make, security is actually still pretty crap.

So you're allowed to bring them on the plane but not light them. :roll:

Strike anywhere matches are ones that can be struck on almost any surface. Safety matches need the strip on the box or book.

But Safety matches don't provide the burning sulphur smell. You need to use strike-anywhere matches to mask unpleasant whiffs.

Couldn't she have just put a cork in it?

I can't believe you could suggest such a dangerous thing, Monster!!!! Imagine the damage a ricocheting cork could do in the already pokey environs of a pressurized aircraft cabin...... She could get sued for millions for all the bruising it coud cause as it bounced off her fellow passengers, who would then inhale her stink as they gasped with shock at being hit by a high speed cork..... what chaos this could cause.... twisted
