Flatulence at high altitude

[Fish Kid]

I've just suffered the most horrendous flight of my life, 7 hours sitting next to someone who seemed to have a constant stream of stinking gas coming out of his botty.

I'll hold my hands up to getting a few air biscuits out in response, as I do on most flights, but I was Sunday League football battling against a far superior Champions League side.

I'm sure it's something to do with being holed in a pressurised aluminum tube, but does anyone know of a reliable remedy to this problem that seems to afflict a lot of people?

Have you heard about a Japanese passenger who "let off" and was so ashamed he put a bag over his head for the rest of the journey! (several hours)

I believe this to be true!

[Fish Kid]

If the man sitting next to me tried that, he wouldn't have been long for this world.

Your second paragraph is comedy genius! Brightened up my day that has!

eat less sprouts!

I had not eaten sprouts. I suspect diet is not the reason for such unpleasantness when locked together in a confined and pressurised space...come you answer bank boffins, what is the cause?
