Title: How do we know it's gas?
Post by: Geezer on 14/09/2010 21:30:59

I'm sure many of you will deny it, but I'm also sure everyone has wondered how they are (mostly) able to distinguish between an urge to pass gas and an urge to pass something a bit more solid.

How does that work then?

Can it be that you can sense the speed size of the gas bubble as being normally faster in transit, with respect to a solid, prior to its release.
Butt when you are ill softer masses in transit, pass usually as fast as gas, promoting the skid marks in abundance.

The fact is, sometimes, it doesn't. Every heard of the 'follow through'? aka the fart with lumps.
