Flatulence on a Budget

While sight seeing in Italy this summer, my B-I-L had one of his gastro-intestinal warnings. Not wanting to risk public humiliation in a foreign country, he did the clenched sprint to the nearest public restroom.

Turns out it costs 8 Euro to fart in Italy. Beats free sharting any day.

How does that convert to $US??

I could make a KILLING in this house, between the family and the dogs, I could retire early!!!

I'm glad farting's free in the US. I'd hate to have to hold back to save cash.

I'm glad too JJ. Those Europeans are financially savvy.

HFS: Let me do some checking and I'll get back to you.

I would have just let it rip and blame in someone else!

Couldnt he find an alley/bush/carpark/anything??

Trish: I am sure that if he knew all that was going to happen was a little gas he would have risked it. He was preparing for an explosion of sorts.

reminds me of the little diddy when I was a kid:

"Here I sit so broken hearted, paid a dime and only farted."

Cracking up at Cheezeweezil's comment. Egad I remember that one very well.

Like someone else said, do the deed then look around as though someone else near you is disgusting. NOT THAT I'VE EVER DONE THAT OF COURSE! *grin*

Well it wasn't quite 8 Euros it was more like closer to 1 Euro or maybe a dollar US but when you think your butt is ready to fall off along with your liver and guts you will gladly pay the tax to pass gas. Gas Tax get it. HarHar. BIL
