i was a guest at a very formal dinner party the other day, we used various cutlery and the food was positively delicious. however at one point, one of the other guests dropped his eye glasses on the floor just behind me and as he knelt down to pick them up i accidentally broke wind in his face, and it was rather loud too. and it was quite smelly, everybody stopped what they were doing and started staring . what should i do if this ever happens again?

It happens Scoob. Nothing to worry about. I sometimes try to do it on purpose.

I would say--not to be gross--resist the urge to blow full-force. Just slowly let it out, and dont squeeze too much, if at all. That way it will be slower and less loud.
About the smell...I have no answers there, buddy.
If it's possible to do this (some people would consider it rude; be careful and know first) excuse yourself and walk somewhere else, i.e. a bathroom or something to release it. =P
Hope that helps!

Hold it in next time. Or if you think you can squeeze it out without making any noise do that, but not when someone is bending down near you butt. IF you are able to let it go without a noise, no one can blame you and can make faces like, "who did that?"

Tell the guy that is on the floor you accept his apology for burping that smelly burp on you and keep walking with an astonished look on your face.

What can you do...lol. Laugh. It sucks that the more formal it is, the more you have to pretend not to be human, but you are and farts happen. Something similar has happened to everybody in the world.

Blame it on the dog of course.
If there is no dog? Prove that there is an imaginary dog and that the other people are being stubborn by not acknowledging the fact!

George Herman "Babe" Ruth said, "OK, who's next? I'll give you $1000 if you can match that loud note!", according to a movie about him. Another time, he laughed and said, "All aboard!"

Excuse yourself, and go to the restroom... come back and try to put the "big" event of the night behind you!
