We've all been in that situation. You think everything is good, you're out and about enjoying the day in Yakima, then you feel the rumbling in your stomach, and that feeling goes down a little lower.

Then a little lower, and you know you're not going to be able to hold it.

You pray that it is just gas, and not something that you'll end up spending much more time on clean-up duty than originally intended.

So, you cross your fingers, relax, and hope for the best. The best being no noise, no smell, no problem!

But, your cover is blown (hopefully your pants aren't). Everyone around you heard it. You passed gas out loud.

So, now what do you say? How do you excuse yourself when you pass gas?

For me, personally, I also go the loud and proud and yell "SCIENCE".

It usually gets the point across that I was conducting some type of weird experiment that everyone in the room is not a part of.
