Title: Why do some people fart when receiving a massage?
Post by: omid on 07/03/2010 14:46:12
One of omid's cousins works in a beauty saloon where they also massage people, and this was the main funny issue in Saturday night's party that how people start farting while she gives them massage. [:D] [:D] [:D]

omid's question is that what's so special that when given massage people fart?????????? [:-X]

Massage tends to move air around that has been trapped inside.It is much like kneading bread, and it changes the placement of air by eliminating air pockets which have filled with gaseous Luff, like Neil might say, and it sends it exiting the best and nearest exit hole... LOL sometimes rolling on ones tummy and being massaged allows for that to happen,it pushes the trapped air from within, out!

I think this is partly a reflection on the effectiveness of the massage. Massages are very relaxing, which can make people sleepy and calm. They are also often laying on their fronts. Together these factors lead to relaxation of anal tone and redistribution of intestinal gas, with noisy (and sometimes odorous) consequences...

Armin Meiwes, the German cannibal serving a life sentence for killing and eating a man who begged to be devoured, has described how the meat tasted of pork and how he prepared an elaborate meal of human steak in a green pepper sauce with croquettes and Brussels sprouts.

I wonder; should it be Brussel sprouts, Brussels sprouts, Brussel's sprouts or Brussels' sprouts, or simply methane bombs.

Any why is(are) Brussels plural? Are(is) there two of them?
