If
"I think and therefore I am" is true
Is
"I stink and therefore I vent" true?

No, because you see it could have been "I stink and there for I went".

It's hard to be philosphical when in fact all farts are funny. Nowhere, in all of recorded history has there been one non-funny fart. Did (diety of choice) include methane gas production in our biochemistry just to add humor to our lives? Probably not, because farts are not funny due ot olfactory considerations, they just sound funny. If you can accept the truth of all farts being funny then you have accepted that it doesn't matter if a fart is a squeeker or a 'birds took off from sound sleep at 200 yards" blast of gas. Giggling after a fart has nothing to do with the smell, you have, or will giggle long before the smell reachs your nose; and likely will cease giggling shortly thereafter.
In fact, multi-part, multi-tonal squeekers have (not personally tested) less of a methane component and likely less olfactory impact but often produce the more humorous responses. They are, if played in tune with Beetoven's 5th, even likely to produce a lip twitch on a Britsh royal guard's inmobile face.

I'm not telling ya'll how to think, or how to stink. I'm just saying...

I tried reading the long posts, really I did. But I kept falling asleep. There is a moral there someplace... But if those posts weren't immoral, illegal or fattening, then there is a sleep factor involved that has a negative exponential to the attention keeping of a true sailor.
So it is enjoy life, while you can. Life is to short to fret over the small stuff and almost everything is small stuff.

A British dude once told me, "You Americans are an odd lot. When you burp, you excuse yourselves. When you sneeze, everyone blesses you. And when you fart, you laugh like hell."
