Do politicians expel intestinal gas?

Asked by Pandora (32206points) September 19th, 2011

It got me wondering. I don’t think I’ve ever heard one break wind. You have a bunch of old guys together that all look like they eat well and yet I never recalled hearing one rear burp before. Are they timing them to happen when the microphone squeals or do they just avoid gassy foods when they are going in front of the camera, or are they like the tree that falls in a forest?
This is just a fun curiosity question. I’m wondering has anyone really ever heard on expel gas? Do they know of ways of avoiding public wind breaking?

How did you keep from farting in school?

They can’t afford to. They’re too full of shit.~

I’m glad you asked, because I’m pretty sure I heard one fart on C-SPAN the other day. I don’t know for sure, I wasn’t looking at the screen, and maybe someone just shifted in a leather chair, but it sure sounded like a fart to me.

@Hawaii_Jake That’s the first political thing that has made me laugh in about 10 years. What fun to see someone acting so natural!

I would have to say no… all you’d do was feel the breeze and smell the stench. More commonly referred to as a SBD (silent but deadly)

No. There’s too much noise and hot air coming out of their mouths, and all of it lies.

Always. The louder the better. They think it is funny.

@johnpowell Don’t remember kids really caring about fart sounds. If anything they were usually well appreciated during a long difficult test to cut the stress. Its usually the silent deadly ones that weren’t claimed by anyone. No correction. I remember boys being quite proud of those.

@Hawaii_Jake That was good. Although they say the sound was added to the original clip, it was nice to see Clinton laughing so naturally.

Most of them have undergone a special operation in which a barometric flatulescence tube is inserted next to the heart. This device captures gasses that accumulate during the day and compresses them into a tiny storage container.

At the end of the day, there is a little plug through which a catheter emerges, and the gases are exhausted. If they want, the gases can be recaptured into a home system and used for cooking.

@trailsillustrated I had to edit my original question. It wasn’t fluther like material.( Hardy har har) Yes, if we don’t let things go a little we may end up building up a lot of hot organic matter that can be used as fertilizer. Yet, I don’t understand how speaking of underaged mentally challenged people copulating with adults is fluther material.

@Hawaii_Jake Clinton’s remark is so perfect, I wonder how it couldn’t be prepared in advance.
It’s the exact right thing to say!

No, they can’t, because they have no guts! Well, OK, maybe some of them do.
