The bus fart..

The sneakiest of all farts, this one invades your limited amount of personal space attacking you from the front or from behind and very rarely from the sides. Being on a bus with 30-some odd people on the long trips from Calgary to Winnipeg (21hr) or from Vancouver to Whitehorse (44hr) you get to experience all kinds of delightful things in the close company of strangers. As you sit there waiting for the next rest stop, it's somehow acceptable.. You can give yourself permission to let a little one escape because hey, there are seats infront and behind you! You convince yourself against all logic that they will block any odour from escaping your quaint little row. No one will notice! In fact, sometimes I feel I've gotten away with it. I have no proof as to whether or not I have.. But what do I know? I know that there have been several occasions where the people in front of me and behind me HAVE NOT..
