I regularly attend an improv group, and it’s the most fun I have all week. It’s amazing!

But most weeks, somebody does a really smelly fart. Like really bad, the worst fart smell you could sniff.

I think I know who it is. There’s one particular regular member who once mentioned that they have IBS. Almost every time the horrible fart smell appears, they are there, and the smell is near them.

There’s only been one time I remember a horrible fart smell when they weren’t there, so it was unlikely it was them that time unless they can fart from a distance, which I’ve never heard about before.

It’s annoying because nobody owns up to it when it happens, and we all have to pretend like it’s not there. I sometimes think it would be good if one of us reacted to it, like:

Oh my God, that stinks! Who the hell just dropped their guts?

But that would be like being back at school and would be embarrassing for the person who has done the fart.

And it’s not like I’ve never farted. I do some bad ones sometimes. But I try to get them all out of the way during the car drive there. Then if I feel any bubbling away during the improv session, I try my best to hold them in.
