Hey, I wonder how many extra pounds of thrust they could get from 250 pax on a 777 if they were to redirect the highly flammable gasto emmissions via high-tech seats to the engines?

Sara Lee and I do not get along well
Had one of those chemistry set doughnuts this morning and sure enough two hours later a malodorous haze hangs throughout the air of the SEA PClub. Pity they don't offer fresh pastries and fruit (beyond apples).

It stinks (hardy har har), but such is life as a human.

BTW, in case you were wondering, Miss Manners (Judith Martin) says one doesn't have to say "Excuse me" when passing gas...
responding to things that shouldn't happen (bottom of page)
Dear Miss Manners,
Let's say someone passes gas. They say, "Excuse me." Do you say, "You are excused"? My wife does this I find it strange.
Gentle Reader,
Miss Manners has something even stranger for you: Etiquette's way of dealing with things that shouldn't happen is to pretend that they didn't.
So youor, rather, that unfortunate "someone"need not say, "Excuse me." And you are right that the response of "You are excused" has an unnecessarily imperious feel to it, as if you could equally well have refused.
Admittedly, the definition of things that shouldn't happen is arbitrary. Passing gas meets the definition, although, oddly enough, burping does notunless you are doing it on purpose, in which case stop that this very minute.

In the movie "Airport," didn't Ada Quonsett, while making suggestions to an FA about how to improve the airline, admonish an FA not to serve a certain salad dressing because "it gives us gas."? Imagine being stuck next to Ada Quonsett during....uh...maybe that's a Don't Go There!

It is absolutely criminal that no one has updated this thread since 2005. With the amount of cheese served aboard CO, I am certain that at least one, if not more CO Forum contributors are "holding back." Or are they?

Holy Crap!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!
This is one of the funniest things I've read in a long, long time.
All the talk of rolling up on one side, lifting, Oktoberfest, etc., I've never seen such juvenile yet refined discourse on dropping @ss!

I for one think that the cold plate is a recipe for unmitigated a$$ dropping.

Wow. I had totally forgotten about this discussion.
One of the benefits of flying CO is the leather F seats. The leather allows one to squeeze out a few more decibels than the NW burlap seats that tend to absorb the sound better.
