I very recently posed this question on rec.food.cooking, and although I
did receive a few responses, none answered my question directly. Last
week I was having lunch with two of my lady friends from my cats group.
After a hearty meal of chili beans and rice, my friend Jill let out a
fart for the ages. It was loud and it stunk. After a moment of tense
silence, I asked her was she going to at least say "excuse me". My other
friend, Carol, chimed in that farting after a nice meal was perfectly
acceptable and was meant as a compliment to the chef. She said it was an
eastern European custom, which I have to admit I had never heard before.
Jill said that although she wasn't from eastern Europe, it was a custom
that she adopted. She then proceeded to cut another one, which was even
louder than the first. While I had a look of disgust on my face, Carol
had this big grin on her face as she let loose with a silent but deadly.
I nearly puked from the smell. Getting back to my original question: Is
it impolite to fart at the dinner table?

Because there's no such custom. If it was burping, it would make the lie
more credible.

Are you sure they aren't into scat?

It's impolite to fart near other people, either at dinner table or not.
Even "impolite" is not the right term. As you said, it's disgusting and
only pigs do that.

Next time after dinner fart in their face, literally in their face, and
tell them that's a custom that some indian tribes have to show that they
feel confortable with them around and it's an honour for them, and you,
that you can fart in their face.

It is not polite to smell your own farts...

Gases from the digestion of a meal do not erupt for many, many hours
after that meal has been eaten. The human gut is ten yards long and
food takes a while to get through it. It also takes the stomach and
the little critters in the long, tuby bit time to break down the food
into its component. Bacteria aren't like strong acids, though the
stomach is, they need time to do their job.

The friend is "complimenting" the cook of yesterday or the day
before, maybe even more historically if she has digestive issues.

Indeed, it is a lie that I have heard noised about in connection to
Mediterraneans, Red Indians and Real Indians. It is nonsense.

I am, of course, open to being corrected by any Anthropologist or
member of any "tribe" who *does* have customs such as these. :)

Evidence and citations would be very welcome.

Not so. You have obviously never lived with a dog nor a cat and
herbivores don't even have limited control over this.

Yes, I know letting out trapped gases is a biological necessity but
so is peeing yet we discourage relatives and guests from urinating in
everyone's corn flakes even though urine is technically non-toxic and
vaguely potable. Flavoured with sufficient vodka, for the cereal, it
may even become delicious.

Humans are trained to practice continence for very good reasons. Even
the household pets of humans can be so trained, some of them.

Indeed. I would suggest politely excusing yourself from the table, and
go outside... Let the pressure go, wait for around 2-3 minutes, then
come back in.

The point was that it was a lie, so this is also a lie but to his
"benefit". Don't do to others what you don't want others do to you.

But it would make a nice usenet post.

My lovely, wise and compassionate wife used to do somewhat the same
thing with ciggies. I thought that was very nice of her.

They are both about the same level of disgusting.

Hmm, "hidden to" bugs the fuck out of me.

It's also pretty lacking in numbers and hard facts. I *like* numbers
and hard facts. Peotry is fine for wooing ladies but Science and
sciencey stuff need numbers.

Perhaps I'm not the intended audience?

Thank you.

The point was that we *can* and *do* train animals to be continent
inside our homes for very valid reasons. If we can do this for "lesser
critters" then doing it for humans should not be difficult.

If you can teach a dog not to steal your lunch, it should be fucking
*easy* to teach a politician not to steal *anything*.

And, just to be clear, humans *are* animals. Also they are apes,
primates and mammals. Just like chimps, bonobos and gorillas. That
humans can be trained implies that some animals can be at least to
limited extents and this has been shown to be true for at least twelve
millennia.

I do know that some dogs will sneak a gobble of lunch if you leave it
unattended to answer the doorbell but this does not imply that
politicians are allowed, because of their animal natures, to thieve
and grift when no one is looking. They are, after all, supposed to be
human and humans are allegedly of a more enlightened kind who can
aspire to a higher moral code.

That they don't is as bad as the friend who farts. Neither is a fully
socialised human being.

How is stating that Red, West and Real Indians are different a lie?
They are *obviously* different each from the other or we would not
have three words to differentiate between them. Do try to keep up.

How is asking to which group the original "tribe who farts" belongs a
lie? It is a question. A question is unable to carry a truth value.

Your reading comprehension skills are lacking, pal.

Being nice on the 'Net would entail your including the text I was
replying to so others reading the thread can follow the joke. It would
also mean your including attributions so people know that it was,
indeed, me who was funny.

But I suppose you are far too young and innocent to have learned how
to be nice.

It doesn't matter, you are kill-filed and I'm out.

Merry Christmas.

Certainly you can not compare the unpleasant smell of a cigarette to the
nasty stench that permeates from a thunderous burst of flatulence. The
former will make you lose your appetite, the latter will make you lose
your lunch.

I think it's yours. I mentioned "only pigs" do that, and you started to
talk about cats, dogs and herbivores... When i was talking about humans.

You asked some stupid question about the point i wrote, which i replied
that what, the original point wasn't true so mine wasn't true either.

Who's lacking reading skills?

Yes, you are very funny. I can't stop laughing. Almost peed myself.

Awesome. One less! I will wear it as my badge of honour.

Yes, I can and do.

Both are emetics to me but the tobacco also chokes me making it hard
for me to breathe. Tobacco smoke is like a poisonous gas to me. Air
from the digestive passages, even those of other species, is merely
nauseating.

I have breathing issues in the cleanest of airs, polluting them with
vehicle exhausts or tobacco fumes just makes my problems worse.

Anal ventings don't seem to choke me so much. They are, however, as
mentioned, still odious.

The grotesquely horrible stink of a tobacco-user's clothing as he
passes by in a closed space after indulging in his anti-social habit
is also exceedingly offensive. That may be worse than flatulence as it
lingers longer and tends to be far stronger.

You Wife is a very nice, and kind person. Very considerate of others.

Don't be so harsh on the youngster. In the long run, All Farts Matter,
will be the dominant new slogan in my room. That's when farts will again
dominate the news; newly gassed will call out, id need be.
