Jo (kneeling, bent over, ass in air): Oh god. The gas. It's gas, isn't it? Gas.
Sean: Guess that cabbage dinner didn't agree with you.
Jo: Ooof.
Sean: And cauliflower.
Jo: And onions. And kale. Uhhhgh.
Sean: And spices. What did you have for lunch.
Jo: Um. Chili.
Sean: ...
Jo: Vegetarian chili. And not all of the beans were cooked all the way.
Sean: "Vegetarian chili." "Not all the beans were cooked all the way." Joey.
Jo: *poooooooooooht*
Jo: Oh god.
And then a pint of salt water ran out of my nose.*
*because I did this earlier, and all the saline must have wandered off into my clotted sinuses only to be dislodged by my bent-over de-gassing posture.
ohhh man. soooo funny. thank you for making me laugh on a dreary tuesday evening :)

Jo, I just love hearing about your ass. Really. (Also want to see the rest of that buttcrack tattoo.) I can comprehend your pain. Gas is awful. I once thought I was going to die after a friend fed me not-well-cooked black bean chili. I ached for DAYS. Gas that bad should merit an epidural.
Here's hoping all your assorted passages are springtime fresh this morning.

Now that's the sort of conversation the social workers should witness. Then they'd know that here are two people who have the most solid, comfortable, happy marriage ever.
My SIL often would remark that she couldn't fart in front of her husband. Like, he forbid it or something. They're divorced now. Surprise.
Hope you eat a bit more judiciously today, Love.

WOW! Now that is some evil chili. Bad, naughty EVIL beans.
