No. Good manners means you only clean other people's ears in public.
Further, you can only pick your nose while in your car at a stoplight cause no one will ever see you.

Gina is always right because she is a drop dead gorgeous red-head. If you ever disagree with her, good manners dictate you must Hi5 her serveral times to make up for your faux pas.

Mr Mannn is spelled with 3 n's, not two.

Farts are always funny. Its OK to laugh unless it's from your girlfriend...in that case the fart never happened. Once you are married, they can be funny again.

Some itches just have to be scratched, nobody is making anyone else watch.

Sage words from Mr. Mannn, too.

Sorry, but the fart thing with Mrs. E doesn't happen. They are ignored when a slip occurs.

And it's a good thing that her nose has been declared legally dead. Otherwise, I'd be in BIG trouble.  :rotf:

When they're my farts and they smell, it's hilarious... to me. To the wife, not so much.

It depends on the situation.  If I am in a well ventilated location, or outside, I don't mind.  Not so much otherwise.  But they are still funny.

Mrs E and I were waiting for an elevator on board the Carnival Destiny when the little bell rang, the door opened, and three people bailed out of there holding their shirts against their noses.

They managed to choke out a warning not to enter that particular elevator. By that time, another couple of people showed up who had not been warned, and they started to head into the "thick" of the fumes when I mentioned that others had warned us to stay away.

After 2-3 days of nonstop eating on board a ship, the farts can get pretty ripe.   :rotf:

Yeah. My poor thread has severely degenerated into another bodily function.

Have I ever posted my fart dictionary here?  :naughty:

The Heiress finds that "tooting" is incredibly funny.  I've got to admit . . . it is.  The noxious cloud that can eminate from said "blast" . . . oh well!  I have been approached by people claiming to be UN Weapons Inspectors, threatening me with being put on a "human chemical weapons" list.  O-) :fuelfire: :tongue:

Dutch ovens are even better.  Especially if you prime the bed, then they get in.  Oh, the hilarity.

Although I have been a victim of that more than once, it still makes me laugh.  After the air has cleared, of course.
