Passing In Public

    Everytime I see the name of this message board, I am reminded of my grandmother who refered to flatulence in the company of others as passing in public. I think this was because she refered to farting as passing gas. In her mind this was extremely rude. I think this says alot about who we are that we make a conscious effort to pass in public.

    Her lips said I'm a man but her dress and silent farts spoke otherwise.

    Clearly not everyone understands or appreciates the humor in the dual interpretation of the phrase.
