Adventures in Vegas - The 2008 Edition: Volume I
On Night One of the 2008 Great Vegas Adventure, Papa Fool and I were finally ready to retire to our room after dicking around in our hotel’s casino for a few hours. We arrived at the elevator bank just in time to board one of the elevators with four other people.
And my oh my, weren’t they lucky!
Papa Fool immediately darted to the back of the elevator while I stood to the side. I started messing around with the calculator on my phone, trying to figure out odds in a particular game. (It is moments like these that make me wish there were a little Asian blood in the Fool family.)
Three of the four other people on the elevator pushed buttons for floors below ours.
About three seconds after the elevator started its climb, I heard the sound of wind being broken. It wasn’t a juicy fart, i.e. the kind that would leave you wondering whether its owner drew a little mud, but it certainly was loud enough for everyone to hear.
And guess what! I had a sneaky suspicion I knew who dealt it.
I tried to keep my composure, so I kept playing with my phone. But after the first person got off the elevator, I couldn’t help it. I just started cracking up (the type of silent laugh where there’s no sound, but everyone clearly knows you’re laughing because the top of your body looks like it's undergoing an epileptic fit). And I continued to laugh when the second random person got off and also when the third random person got off.
But then I laughed even harder when it was just the fourth random passenger, Papa Fool, and me.
Fourth Random Passenger: Did you guys hear that!?! I think that lady who just got off farted!
Papa Fool: I think you’re right.
Seconds later, Papa Fool and I got off on our floor.
Thinking Fool: I assume that was you.
Papa Fool: Of course.
And that, my friends, is the type of experience that would make Martha Stewart proud.

Fool, you always make my day. That's hilarious!
