Phnark! Swamp gas alert! 12, February 2008

Please note, the “not while you’re eating” tag is switched on.

Just back from holiday, relaxed, refreshed and sorting out a couple of bits of administrivia.

I was going through my maternity notes – mainly to find out when I should be booking appointments and adding an alarm to my PDA so I book them in time to have them in the right week at the right time.

So… early on in my pregnancy, when I had bad period pains and they were worried it might be an ectopic pregnancy the Doctor sent me in for an emergency scan. Glancing at the notes I found this.

“Left ovary appears normal. Right ovary was not identified due to overlying bowel gas.”

You know what this means people?  My pending farts are opaque.

Mmm… is that gross or a major achievement?

When I was a kid I used to think it would be brilliant if farts showed.  No dropping an evil air biscuit and blaming it on other people.  A cloud of pink gas rising from a farter’s arse would make it abundantly clear who the culprit was.  Yeh, so I was weird, what of it?
