Let ’em Rip!
Let’s talk about butt trumpets
My husband is quite the character — it’s why I married him.
During a friend’s birthday party on her farm (of all places), my hubby proudly let out a series of farts that echoed throughout the patio and reverberated through the farm, causing everyone to burst out laughing and the donkeys to think there was a contest.
My hubby is proud of his work.
This hilarious moment got me thinking about farts and whether holding them in is actually bad for you because I was holding one or two myself and I wasn’t feeling good.
It turns out that holding in your farts could be a real pain in the butt — literally! Holding in those funny grumpies may cause immediate discomfort, bloating, indigestion, and heartburn.
— duh.
So, let ’em rip, and let us all experience your unique brand.
In the 70s, experts discovered that holding in your farts could lead to diverticulitis, which inflames little pouches along your digestive tract. If left untreated, these gas pockets could become smelly, causing infections and complications.
And, your farts are ungodly.
