Husband Gas Has Silver Lining
What an interesting article I found this morning! The title is, The Stink in Farts Controls Blood Pressure. (May I add that this article is from Live Science, and NOT a humor magazine–therefore, it’s all true despite that it also happens to be funny).
Surprising fact: My husband doesn’t pass gas in the presence of others…even me. Considering all the other issues he has with hygiene, I find it shocking that he doesn’t constantly sit around passing gas. (I also have 3 young sons, however, and they fart nonstop…and when they aren’t farting, they are talking about farting…or butts or other related things…So it’s not like our house is fart-free, but it is very surprising that almost none of them are emitted by my husband.)
So, my husband doesn’t have this issue. However, I know for a fact that most men have serious issues with farting like crazy–they enjoy it, they call it to attention, they joke about it, and they even having contests involving it. This is really gross, and it could even make a female feel trapped in a yucky house with a yucky man, and she has to reckon daily with the fact that this huge fart bucket is her husband…forever. So, it seemed kind to pass this article along to any ladies out there who can’t understand how they trapped themselves into marriage with one big gas-passing machine…Believe it or not there is a SILVER LINING to this sulfur-induced cloud…It turns out that FARTS ARE HEALTHY. Read the article and see: The same chemical that makes the gas stink your house up also CONTROLS BLOOD PRESSURE!!!
No kidding! I think we all know what that means–now, you can look forward to many, many more years of your husband’s fart-related antics. Aren’t you glad you read Husband Clothes today??? heheheheheheheh.

I read this yesterday while at work and I was thinking the same thing as you do! I have a secret but I won’t tell … ha ha. At least now we have an option if we ever get high blood pressure problems! Btw, Holly, there might be another article you’d find interesting. It’s 5 Things Super-Happy Couples Do Every Day - I saw it on Yahoo as well. It would be great to read your thoughts on this. I wrote about it in our new niche blog, “The Chronicles of a Cross-cultural Marriage” (http://crossculturalcouple.wordpress.com/). Consider yourself invited!

Oh NO. This is terrible news. I definitely will not be showing my husband this article. It will only encourage him more!

Ha ha! Bianka, I just realized, I probably shouldn’t be spreading this news. It could easily get into the wrong hands…

Uh-oh, a man obviously did this research and wrote this article, didn’t he?
Bianka hit the nail on the head - I think I will file this under the category of “Things He Does Not Need To Know.”
