Robert stood in the aisle of the supermarket looking for a tin of coconut milk. His recipe for sweet potato pudding called for quarter of a cup. He couldn’t find it anyway. Fortunately there were a couple of supermarket shelf-stackers close by putting things on shelves.
“Excuse me,” said Robert, “could you tell me where I might find the coconut milk?”
“As luck would have it,” said a shop worker, “it’s right in front of you.”
“Oh! So it is!” said Robert. “I must be going blind!”
At that moment, Robert farted. It wasn’t a quiet fart. It was a long fart and very, very loud. The shelf-stackers pretended not to hear. Robert knew he’d reached a certain age because he didn’t give a stuff.

I certainly won’t be including the story as a footnote to my autobiography.

Met an attractive, if rustic, man at a campsite in a remote area who invited me to share his campfire and a beer. He farted unselfconsciously, even pushing a bit for maximum volume, which put me instantly at ease; as I inferred that he was not planning to hit on me. I think his name was Robert too.

Truth is indeed at least as strange as fiction!

Autobiographical elements always spice up a story. At times they fill the scenes with fragrances and malodours.

Thank goodness most autobiographies are fiction.

They happen sometimes – farts, that is. I usually look right at the person next to me. I would NEVER fart!

I agree!! Staring at the person next is what should be done. I’m with you on never having personally contributed to the planet’s methane overload.

My dog squeaks when she farts. It’s quite entertaining to watch visitors’ reactions when she does it in front of company.

My dog doesn’t fart, but he gets the hiccups.

I can’t wait to get to that age! My dog runs away if someone farts or hiccups (not me of course)!

I don’t get enough visitors to know what my dog does on hearing such things.
