Can you imagine the embarrassment?

LMAO... I read that on Yahoo the other day, and was laughing really hard. I still feel sorry for the woman, but it's too humorous not to laugh! I wonder why she'd bother, though, since everyone seems to stink on airplanes - so nobody would know it was her, lol.

Maybe it was a "Silent but Deadly" extreme release...? All I know is that I'd never allow myself to be confined in a small space..like an airliner...with my dad... no way Jose...He'd let go and the plane would disappear from radar...one of those "Bermuda Triangle" mysteries is what people would conclude.
I don't get lighting matches...my sister does that and I think it's TACKY to leave a book of matches on the toilet. I keep a couple of scented candles lit in the guest bathroom on the counter and above the water reservoir on the toilet so there's an open flame to do the job...DISCREETLY..

I laughed hysterically when I read that one the other day. LMAO!!!! What I don't get is that the people sitting beside her did not see her lighting these matches? HUH!!!! I mean your practically sitting on top of each other to begin with. Maybe next time she needs to take a spray bottle of Lysol - Febreeze or something.

MoMark, I do the same thing, light some real nice soft scented candles in the bathrooms when we have guests over. I also have a bottle/can of Febreeze Odor Illiminator under the cabinet if they feel the need for more action. I like the odor illiminators better than Lysol.

I agree, that's a bit tacky in your bathroom... but matches do come in handy when my dog has gas. Talk about "silent but deadly!!"

If you ever have guests you want to leave early...like in-laws, etc. Feed your dog Mealtime beforehand... I guarantee that dog will have the most foul and ferocious gas ever generated on the planet and those folks will FLEE.
Now if you don't care what they think of you and want to spare the dog wear and tear on the bowels, you could eat one pound of Peanut M&Ms and drink a sixpack of strong beer.... I did it without intending the consequences. The gas is lethal, so bad even I had to run from it. It was so bad I dropped my drawers to pass it so it wouldn't cling...now let me tell you...that's BAD!

People on planes do stink. I always grab an orange from the Continental Breakfastes and carry it aboard and peel it about halfway thru the flight. At least my personal space smells citrus-y.

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
ROTHFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as the dogs go, we had a Dalmatian that could clear a room in a hurry. His were not just under the "silent but deadly" catagory either. Sometimes you heard them coming. RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is no longer with us but my older Lhasa (16 years and still going strong) has taken his place. Bless her heart she can't help it at her age. They are not as bad as the Dal's were but it's bad enough.

We at times drive by the wastewater treatment plant. If it is hot and muggy, AGHHH! Roll up the windows and speed. Of course the cops patrol this stretch of roadway. When I start to smell it I will blame one of the kids. At first they would get upset and thought I meant it but soon realized what it really was. It was AWFUL a few days after Thanksgiving, gads bad. If an officer wanted to stop me he was going to have to follow me till I got to a safe distance. What is really sad is there are homes right across the street from there. EWWW

This is hysterical. I've never told anyone because it's embarrasing so only those of us in the "in" know...but I have a big, many breeds dog, and a little (rather fat) Min Pin. Sometimes they are in bed with us and suddenly my husb. will start fanning the covers, turning on the ceiling fan, and gets the can of Febreeze and sprays all over, and that falls on me! My nose is always stuffed so I don't think it's THAT bad. When HE lets out a silent one though, I run out of the room!

When my golden retriever farts not only can you smell them (and they are horrendous) but you can hear them too. And it's like evey 15 minutes.
When my husband sticks my son spray his butt with air freshner.
