A Field Needing Serious Study

Most cultures treat flatulence as abhorrent; it impinges on the senses, offends those caught in the blast and brings shame upon the culprit. But farting is a universal act—a byproduct of being a human being with working intestines and a healthy host of co-dependent microbes. So why do we, as humans, seem to hate farts so much?

Oddly I've been blessed with the least offensive 'winds' of any one I know .. at least to me. Why do the rest of you smell so foul?

Most of us expel bad and smelly gas.

In some of us it only leaks out in small doses. In these individuals it builds up in the cells, slowly but surely filling up your body until it reaches your brain. Sooner or later your brain gets filled up too.

And that's where shitty ideas come from.

Of course this will have to go here.

Wait.... are you saying your shit don't stink?

Some simply haven't had the opportunity to truly live. Aboard submarines, farting is a combat sport.

So why do we, as humans, seem to hate farts so much?

Because it smells, which is a bit aggressive on the nose, perhaps?

But for dogs whose sense of smell is off the charts stronger than our own, they love strong smells. Hell they'll rub in it to coat themselves with smell much stronger than farts. They don't seem the least bit apprehensive about sticking their nose into anything. No fear of repulsion.

By comparison we're like toddlers told to try something new to eat. We start by screwing our faces up, holding our noses and fighting the gag reflex .. all before we've even tasted one bit.
