I hid mine for some time (I’m stealthy, again the little and often approach FTW) but one evening we were both in the bathroom and the handle failed leaving us both locked in.
I had to fart and I had to think fast as this was a rumbler. I explained, turned the tap on to mask some of the sound and proceeded to drop a rather loud airbiscuit. Missus creases up at the sound and my sheepish expression combined with the rather ineffectual tap-turning-on.
I then had to break back into the flat through the kitchen window and smash through the door to get her out of said bathroom. As much as I felt I slipped in her estimation due to the guff, I also rescued her from being locked in and became an athletic burglar.
I may have broke wind, but I also broke even. Life’s better without being anally retentive. It’s even better if you can add some comedy timing to delivery.
