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.
