I'm curious should this ever occur, but can anyone tell me what the etiquette is for farting in a crowded elevator?

Act disgusted by the smell, and never fess up.

Always force it out when you feel one coming on. The louder the better. Be sure you lean over a little in order to give the full effect of body language. When you are finished, smile and say, "ahhhhhhh...". The people on board that howl with laughter are the ones who 'get it'. The others will just be horrified. No matter which way people react you will have done something that EVERYONE will talk about all day!
Unless of course, you don't WANT to be talked about.

Depends entirely on the number of people in the elevator and how close you are standing to the door. I once eliminated probably my very worst smelling obnoxious farts at 20,000 feet in an airplane. it was rancid. Smelled like tennis shoes boiled in vomit and wrapped in rotten garbage. Wouldnt dare apologize; the people on board might have killed me. James Bond would not admit to farting in an elevator. If I was on an elevator with only one other person, I would blame an evil yet unseen spirit.

Say out loud "well, at least the doctor says my rash isn't quite as contagious as he first thought. And my test results came back & I don't have Herpes - but they're not sure what I HAVE got".
At this point, everyone else int he elevator will have forgotten about your fart - but there may be slight side-effects of this approach.

Sqeeze your butt cheeks together as tight as you can and try to hold it. If this fails and you still have to let it go, hope it's silent and look at someone else in disgust. If you add the amusing noise that goes along with it then your screwed they will all know it was you, excuse yourself and blame it on the food you ate.

Blame it on the elevator's Catalytic Converter.
Why not? It works for when you fart in an older car!

This is a great question.....first do a silent..but deadly....pointg to the person in front of you.....shake your head and back away....then rip the big one. Say something like damn man...you got colon cancer or something? This works best in a big crowd.

I would probably get off at the nearest floor and find a stairwell and blast if off (probably may get some echos too) but its only humane to hold it in the elevator.
I got into a taxi once roughly about 2 seconds after the cabbie farted, gosh dont know wat he ate but I was homicidal suddenly *%^#%#^#^ you know wat I mean.............
Its been 3 years already but that smell still haunting me today, hey don't ever let it off in an enclosed area........

Look at the most prissy looking woman in the elevator, glare at her and say "How dare you fart in here!"
