If you drop an 'Air biscuit' whilst in company - do you admit it and apologise, or do you try to pass the blame off by glaring at someone and enquiring - 'Pooh is that you', or does the poor dog just get it again?
Just a daft question - no windy answers please!

No chance, I take pride in my work .....
... I fan it about to anyone around me, and maybe even grab someones head and force it down there to cough it up....
... you should NEVER, EVER be embarassed by them, the louder the better.... though, I also like silent but violent variety. In fact, they work best in lifts or on tubes, squeeze one out and watch everyone shifting about looking at the builder standing next to you looking refined in your work suit, even give him a look of disgust, with turned up lip to add to the effect, it's good clean honest fun!

Admit to it !
Then be manly and state that you ate 2 Vindaloo currys, 6 onion bhajis and skulled 10 pints of Stella the night before...
At this point belch loudly, drop the bomb once more and comment on how you have a ring of fire....
(if you can synchronise the fart and belch at the same time you get extra man points)!

I would laugh and consider the possibility that age has something to do with our sphinters not working properly. Of course you would appoligze, but Most people especially older folks do understand. Others throwing fits about it, have had the unfortunate bending over or laughing, sneezing, or coughing and losing control, it just happens. Cheer up it is a natural act and it happens to everyone. Wait until you can't hold your poop or pee in the same situations.

methane is worse for global warming than co2. proper thing to do is drop on your back, spread your legs in th air & fart into a lit match. this will burn the methane into co2 & not be so bad for global warming & doesnt stink. would provide a good example for your friends to follow to help the cause too.
practice makes perfect. ive never tried this in a skirt [might be dangerous] but tight jeans work fine.

You do absolutely nothing.
This is one of the quirks of etiquette. One is assumed to not be in control of flatulence. Anyone saying or doing anything (including the "culprit") calls attention to it and is rude. Everyone is supposed to politely pretend that it never happened.
This is different from a burp. One is assumed to be in control of burps, which is why an "excuse me" is required.
I don't make the rules, I only read and remember them!

It depends how loud it was. If it was a SBD then just sidle away.
However, if it was a 6 on the Richter Scale, push the floor down with your foot muttering - must be a squeaky floor board.

I try to leave the room if I can for a short moment if I can't I usually say pardon and apologise.

Blame your grandad or the oldest member of the group in the absence of your grandad (most of em don't even realise that they've "let one off " anyway) so there will be no repercussions.

Just get someone to pull your finger first, this will ensure they are in good humour to handle the stench, plus its a known fact that a "pulled finger fart" is the funniest of all body functions!*
*may not be true (I have no statistics to back this up)
