Fart. The foul four letter word that means flatulence. What makes it so repulsive and objectionable? Is it not the same as burping? Well, the reason I have arrived at this philosophical question is because yesterday, I was out with someone from the opposite sex and while we were walking, I farted. It wasn't one of those discreet ones either. More like a loud ripping sound. I don't know how it came about but trust me I was dead embarassed. Must have been the onions I've been eating ever so often. Thankfully, the person of the opposite sex did not really seem to think much of it, or maybe not. I hope that never happens again.
