Friday Flash 55.......



The cub reporter was very nervous during his first evaluation.

The editor loved his style, but his story column titles SUCKED!!

"Yellow Snow Cones"...

"Fecal Pottery"...

"Loogie Launching"...

Finally, his angst caused him to emit an SBD!!

Gasping, the editor screams....

"OLSON...Do you know your fart is gagging me?"

'Know it?.....I wrote it!!!!'

.

Hi everybody...If you or anyone you know has written a Flash 55, please send them my way. I'll visit, read, comment, then leave!! Have a GREAT WEEK-END!!!

Peace..!!

Sign-babe,

I feel SO much better knowing I wasn't the only one unawares.

After Galen told me, I was like, 'Oh, yeah...'

SBD = Silent But Deadly

Now we know!

Thanks to G-Manchu, I will probably NEVER forget that particular acronym again!!

snowelf said...

GAB said...

Yeah poor guy. This is kinda cute. Hugs

Cha Cha said...

Us non-SBD knowers need to start a club.

Have support group meetings.

For not being 'in the know' on Galen's fart slang.

=P

Hope you are having a cool weekend, Gayland.

Much love to you.

xoxo

Galen, an Indian poet once said:

" O Sage! The stomach is the prison house of wind
The sagacious contain it not in captivity,
If wind torment thy belly, release it, fart;
For the wind in stomach is like a stone on the heart."

Farting is one of the three greatest pleasures in life ( the other two being sex & head massage)

The King of the farts is the 'Trumpet' . It is am act of will, it is proclamatory and masculine, much sound & little smell. It can only be produced by people who restrict their diet to fresh fruits & non fibrous vegetables grown above the ground.

The second in order is the 'Shenai' . Like the trumpet it is also an act of will and may be produced by a simple shift in position or gentle pressure on the paunch. It differs from the trumpet in the softer tone and longer duration, like the opening notes of a Scottish bagpipe!

The third variety is the Scraper
which makes sound like the squelch of uncured leather or the rustling of old parchment. It is not one, but a succession of little farts and can be called a phenomenon of rectal muscles softened by age.

The fourth is the Tabla which proclaims itself like a single tap on a bongo drum. The Tabla is its own master as it escapes without the host's consent, causing him/her a deep embarrassment if they happen to be in a company.

The Fifth is the noiseless stink bomb or the so called SBD. Since it is unspoken, it is best to be planted on a neighbor as a secret gift. the donor can assume a 'not I' look on the face and hold his nostrils and turn to someone else with an accusing look.But he must heed to the Japanese saying " he who talks is the one who has farted ". If you have let off a SBD, let the others guess the identity of the benefactor.

Mona said...

Exhortations of fart are found in several places in literature!

" Men of letters ere we part
Tell me why you never fart?
Never fart? Dear Miss Bright,
I do not need to fart, I write."

&

"does Henery Sigh, or does he fart?
His Breath is strong from either part."

&

"If blocked a fart can kill a man
If let escape a fart can sing
Health-giving songs; farts kill and save.
A fart is a powerful king"

Mona said...

In India, once a Cabinet Minister recording a Talk for external services let out a Trumpet fart. The talk had to be re recorded. However when the time came, by mistake the original recording was put on the air . It gave the minister the unique distinction of having his fart heard around the world.
