Fart & Awe

Fart from the one I love. My wife and I had been married for only three days. Because of work and other obligations we were unable to take an extended honeymoon right away so we had stopped off at her sister’s house to stay the night – cutting a return trip to my house in half. There are a few moments in life that you remember for a lifetime. This was one of those moments. This was a fart I could never forget.

That night, we were lying in bed cuddling up lovingly together with smiles on our faces and unclothed bodies. Any sort of fart was the furthest thing from my mind. After all, we had only been married three days – dated for less than 6 months and I hadn’t “broken her in” yet.

At that moment it hit me. A blast of silent hot air hit my right thigh like it was shot from a hair dryer. I was in shock – my “proper” wife of three days had let loose the silent fart of all farts into my leg. In fact, it took me a little while to even realize what had happened.

Once I had correctly assessed the situation and understood that my wife had blasted me with a silent fart – I reacted in a rather shocked manner. She had been holding this famous fart in for a long time – as we hadn’t been more than three feet apart all day she never could let loose. She was so very embarrassed that she had blasted my leg – she had no idea my leg was only inches away from the fart zone.

Nevertheless she and I have had a lot of laughs over that famous fart for many years. What’s funny was this fart wasn’t about the smell or the sound. In fact, I don’t even remember if it was stinky. It was one of the famous fart moments that won’t be forgotten in a long time.
