Point/Counterpoint: Noise discipline must never be compromised vs. A fart is always funny and...

My Infantry OCS class was assembled one dark night in bleachers facing a field where "aggressors" were secreted. Our task was to locate them using techniques we had been taught that day. Well, dinner was not sitting well in my stomach and I couldn't stop the gigantic belch that it emitted. The aggressors were then easily located by their laughter... (true story)

Hahaha
We were at a Leadership School graduation, which was a Mess Dress/Semi-Formal affair, for one of our young troops. A couple of us EOD guys were waiting in the bathroom in line to return some beer we had "rented" earlier (You don't really BUY beer, it's more of a rental/short term lease! LOL) when a loud fart rang out from the closest stall. In my typical humor I said "Keep talking sir, we'll find you"! The toilet flushed an out from the stall came the Vice Wing Commander (#2 officer on base). Everyone but him seemed to think I was funny. He just seemed embarrassed! Was it something I said? Asking for a friend! LMAO

I can definitely attest to the comedy effect when you can hear a pin drop at a unit APFT Sit up event indoors..... :)
