She who smelt it.

OMG, this is too damn funny!

First of all, chicks farting is always comedy gold.

Secondly, that anyone post 911 anytime could be so stupid as to think it's okay to light a match (IIRC, all domestic flights have been non-smoking for years) on an airplane is just mind-boggling.

I suspect it's an urban myth (sorry CP I'm too lazy to look it up) but I remember the story about the guy getting on a plane and upon seeing an old friend calling out "Hi Jack!". hilarity ensued....

[Gemini Cricket]

Ha ha. I thought this thread was going to be about GD blaming CP for some smell she noticed...

I thought this thread was gonna be about Tori on It's A Small World...

Lol! Good thing she didn't have any matches; those poor dolls would have wound up like the ones in the Chocolate Factory.

On our flight home from NYC a couple of weeks ago we got stuck next to a kid who released some spectacular farts throughout the trip. Dear God he must have eaten cabbage for breakfast! We spent part of the trip with blankets over our heads trying to block the smell...

Soemtimes I fart to cover the smell of burning matches.

[Motorboat Cruiser]

A company that I used to work for employed a large staff of Vietnamese women. We would always find these piles of used matches next to the toilet. It was apparently a cultural thing. Another thing that they used to do was, if someone cut their finger, they would take a cigarette, cut it open and dump out the tobacco, then pack the tobacco around the cut and cover it with a band-aid. They swore that this helped (I've never tried it so maybe they were correct).

Anyway, that was the first thing I thought of when reading the link. I wouldn't have been in the least surprised to read that it was a Vietnamese woman, although the article didn't state as much.

I just cannot imagine the embarrasment of having to admit that they burning match smell was from you, and it was not because you were a terrorist, but because you farted. I would die!

I have decided to print off a large coloured sign for the rear window of my rental car saying "Australian Driver. Beware." Now, which side of the road do y'all drive on again?
