Flatulence?

Husband enjoys the attention from this effect.   Hopefully it will start about the time he arrives at work the next day.

LOL.  For your sake, I hope that's the case.

And in a nice round trip, one aspect of Hitler's daily briefings that was well-nigh unbearable was his uncontrollable flatulence.

We're luckier today; when Trump starts to spew his noxious gas, we can just change the channel.

"Sending all those "free" cigarettes to American soldiers was a stroke of marketing genius. They created a generation of addicts."

Not only that but in the 60's into the 70's the tobacco companies hired college students to pass out free samples of cigarettes right on their campuses in the time-honored tradition of drug dealers who created future junkies by giving non-junkies free starter-heroin. The tobacco companies' pretense was that it was a marketing scheme to get college kids to switch to the brand of the free cigarettes, not to create a new generation of nicotine dependent junkies.

"I already explained to you that the laws in California regarding cigarette smoking and pot smoking are virtually identical. Ditto vaping."

The problem with that is that, in practice, pot smoking is widespread in places where both cigarettes and weed are prohibited.

When confronted with their illegal pot smoking by managers of public places, pot smokers have learned to say they have a medical permit. Sometimes, they produce a document, usually fake, as "proof." Other times their word suffices. The "I got a medical need" is so pervasive that hotel managers and others have given up trying to curtail illegal pot use even where regular smoking is effectivley controlled.

"In states that are reopening, nobody is being forced to go out. If you don't feel safe or at risk stay home. But those that want to work or go out they should be allowed."

That disregards the rule that the freedom to swing your arms stops at my nose. People do not have the right to smoke if their second hand smoke endangers those around them.

Similarly, no one has the right to exercise their personal liberty after it has been determined by public health officials that doing so by congregating in large groups or engaging in other public activities will prolong the severity and length of the pandemic and increase the prevalence of a potentially fatal disease. The president's infectious disease experts are the ones who need to be listened to, and they are advising against the early return to normal policies being advocated by a few ideologically and/or politically driven governors.

Hmm, . . . poor old DonDiego's television does not transmit televised-flatulence into his living room.  DonDiego opines that would be an awfully expensive feature.

Count on the cable companies to figure out how to engineer that in, not optional for the subscriber.

Hey, Comcast, what is this "Olfaction Fee"?

Don't give them ideas. There are thousands, maybe millions, of people who would pay handsomely to smell Trump's farts. Maybe on a "Pay Per Sniff" basis? $19.95 each.

Yes, the "freedumb" MAGA marchers and all the idiots pushing to end restrictions don't understand that none of us has the freedom to endanger others.

I may possess a magic cloak that makes me immune to CoVid-19. I could still be carrying the virus, and could still infect and kill other people.

We'll see a new wave of outbreaks in the dumbass states that are reopening prematurely.

Smell-O-Vision

Smell-O-Vision was a system that released odor during the projection of a film so that the viewer could "smell" what was happening in the movie. The technique was created by Hans Laube and made its only appearance in the 1960 film "Scent of

Mystery", produced by Mike Todd Jr., son of film producer Mike Todd.
