As a manager in a corporate organisation, I recently had the unfortunate task of reprimanding a member of my staff for repeated public flatulence. During the brief discussion, I admit I had quite a job to keep a straight face when she disclosed that her boyfriend, a doctor, had told her that farting helps reduce high blood pressure and is good for your health.
Putting the anti-social and negative connotations of farting to one side for the moment, does anyone actually know whether this suggestion has any medical foundation? Are we really depriving ourselves from natural health benefits if we suppress flatulence?
You aren't going to keep it forever anyway. But simple decency suggests avoiding doing it in front of others for them to breath in concentrated. Or indeed within earshot so that they know they are, if it comes to that. Health nonsense excuses I'd ignore.
have no medical qualifications, but I suspect, only suspect, that if it is aroma free then that's fine.
If it's not, and is a constant, then there might be something up.
(I've asked some strange Q's on here, but this is definitely the best I've seen in a long while!)

If it's true that it's better out than in, she could at least go somewhere private to...er... let it out, especially if it's noisy or smelly and she's in contact with the public.
No, I'm being absolutely serious. I was expecting some mild embarrassment or an assurance it wouldn't happen again, but the person in question was very open and upfront about it, and I questioned whether I was perhaps being a little old-fashioned to raise the matter with her. I will not be pursuing the matter further, but have been left with this intriguing information and wanted to see if there was any evidence to back it up!
Surely she must know that she's going to break wind?
Agree with Cloverjo, she should excuse herself and go somewhere private, or more private. Or even announce 'pardon me, I think I'm going to break wind'
Manners cost nothing.
Hot air rises.
If you don't release your excess gas from the correct orifice it builds up within your body.
Eventually it will rise up through your body to the cavity your brain resides in and then you will have *** thoughts.
