I used to think that when I farted, my insides exploded! That was one theory, anyway. The other one was that when I was small, I ate a bomb and the bomb exploded every once in a while.

I used to believe that if you farted too hard and the heat was on,thehouse would blow up because of the noxious gas and the mix of heat together.So one day in the winter,I made my brother try it.I held him up to the radiator,he farted REALLY BAD,and i ran down the front stairs and outside in the freezing cold holding my brother close to me.The neighbors shoveling their yards stared at us and laughed.I was so embarrassed and my brother started to cry.we went back inside and i NEVER tried that again.too bad it didn't blow up after all of that embarrassment!

brothers farts stink SO BAD

i used to believe that every time i farted i was being jet propelled.

My little sister got all the hand-me-downs so sometimes her pants had a hole in the crotch. if we ever caught her farting we would tell her to stop because she would blow a hole in her pants. she seemed to believe us.

For the longest time, I never thought farting was rude or anything. It's just as natural as breathing; how was I supposed to know doing it in public was socially frowned upon?

At home, my sister and I would fart freely, whenever we felt the need, and my parents (though somewhat more inhibited) weren't especially shy, either. I only learned otherwise after one particularly embarassing incident in grade school. ]_]

If I had bad gas I would sometimes start to run as I farted to escape the smell. It didn't always work.

Sammy

I was once told that if you farted while making a funny face or gesture with your body, you would stay with that expression or in that position forever. I told myself that it was rubbish, but never really had the guts to try it.

Mantis

I believed that a giant cartoon-like skunk tail, black with stripe, would pop out your butt when you farted, and go back in before you could see it, which explained the "pop" feeling that comes with a fart.

Stacie

When i was little i thought that the reason the fart made the 'Fart noise' was because their was a little alien inside your butt talking.So i thought that when people farted but didnt make the sound, the the alien was on a break.I also thought that the aliens inside your butt would die when you poop and a new alien would grow.

My grandpa, who was the Champeen Farter of the East Coast, used 1 of 3 excuses when he'd rip a good one.

(imagine a thick Slovenian accent here, if you can:)

(1) (looks at floor) "Floors creakin'"
(2) (looks out window) "Thunder"
(3) (looks at me with big smile) "Frogs"

Joe

i used 2 believe that when you farted all your insides would come out thats why everyone went eww when you farted, i tried for ages not to fart and i used to get really upset when i did

sherminator

When i was a kid i used to hear never pull the tigger on a gun cause it will kill people.

So from then on each time my brother would ask me to pull his finger (you know let out a fart) and i would scream he was trying to kill someone

In my first year of pre school i still hadn't quite figured out that it is inpolite to rip farts in public, so the first time i walked in after i introduced myself i proceded to rip a huge fart right in front of everyone.

my friend told me that if you burp and fart at the same time you will explode, i didnt believe her so i tried and tried but i have never been able to do it.

Lucy

My neice thought that when you burped it was a fart coming out of your mouth.

She looked at us and would say

"Whoops I just farted in my mouth"

Sonicgenki

When I was younger my dad told me that he had what was called a 'poot jar.' He said that everyone had one and if I misbehaved he would take it out and open it and make me smell it.

Kyle

I used to think that you could get balloons only at a gas station, where a line of men would fart into it until it was full.

Kate

When I was young I believed that if you farted while you were at a gas station, that you had to hold your breath or the gas thingies would explode.
I also belived for a while that if you farted while you were next to a lamp, and if you farted right on the light bulb, it would turn on. Lol. :3

MacabreMikayla

Farts really are Barking Spiders, right?

I remember being at a restaurant when I was little and my mom said something about the Nazis "gassing the Jews" and I thought she was saying "gassing the juice". I figured it meant when you try to fart but it squirts instead. I couldn't understand why my mom would be talking about something so disgusting while we were eating. (I guess what she was actually talking about wasn't very pleasant dinner conversation either.)
