The odor of Baked Beans

One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love.
When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the
supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.
Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke
down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the
countryside I called my husband and told him that I would be
late because I had to walk home. On my way, I passed by a
small diner and the odor of baked beans was more than I
could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk
off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped
at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three
large orders of baked beans.
All the way home, I made sure that I released all
the gas.
Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see
me and exclaimed delightedly: 'Darling I have a surprise
for dinner tonight!
He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at
the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to
remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. He made me promise
not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to
answer the call.
The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting
me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while
my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only
loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a
skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. I took my napkin from my
lap and fanned the air around me vigorously.
Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off
three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage.
Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation
in the other room, I went on like this for another few
minutes. The pleasure was indescribable. When eventually the
telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom, I
quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on m y lap and folded my hands back on it feeling
very relieved and pleased with myself.
My face must have been the picture of innocence
when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He
asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I
assured him I had not.
At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve
dinner guests seated around the table chorused: 'Happy
Birthday!'
I fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard this one before, barehugs, but it is still incredibly funny.
Even though I knew the ending, I still couldn't help myself, but to read on and drink in all the luscious details because they are so enthralling.
It is just too priceless and so very hilariously funny. And I can see it happening in real life, too.
But had she peeked, and realized that she was sitting at the table with dinner quests, can you imagine her horrible discomfort if she had tried to hold it in?!
What I am curious about, is now 12 people managed to NOT giggle or made some form of AGHAST noises when the toots and stinks came out of her. I know I couldn't have kept quiet.
Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.

Yes this one did sound familiar, but as you say "it's an oldie, but a goody!" My wife and I both had a great laugh when we read it. I would question the ability of 12 people to keep perfectly still around the table, while this was happening? its possible, but not very probable!

Yes, I had to read your email alert out loud to the husband, too. We had a grand laugh over it.

Gosh!!
I bet that she was embarrassed!
Sometimes Tina eats things that aren't agreeable to her and she really stinks up the place.
