Baked Beans

Once upon a time, there lived a woman who loved eating baked beans. She loved eating them in the morning, she loved eating them for lunch and she loved eating team for dinner but because of eating the baked beans, she farted. She farted in the morning, she farted in the afternoon and she farted at night. For her it was not embarrassing but then one day she met a guy and fell in love and got married. And she decided to stop eating baked beans.

Some months later, her car broke down on the way home from work. Since she lived in the country she called her husband and told him that she would be late because she had to walk home. On her way home, she passed a small diner which had a wonderful smell... Baked beans. Since she still had a long way back home, she figured that she would walk off any ill effects by the time she reached home. So, she stopped at the diner and ate three large baked beans plates.

All the way home she farted. And when she got home she felt sure she could control it. Her husband excited to see her said: "Darling, I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded her and led her to her chair at the table. She seated herself and just as he was about to remove the blindfold from his wife, the telephone rang. He made her promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned. He then went to answer the phone.

The baked beans she had eaten were still affecting her and the pressure was becoming almost unbearable, so while her husband was out of the room she seized the opportunity, shifted her weight to one leg and farted. She took her napkin and fanned the air around her. Then, she shifted to the other cheek and farted again Later on her husband returned, apologizing for taking so long, he asked her if she peeked, and she assured him that she had not.

At this point, he removed the blindfold, and she was surprised!! There were twelve dinner guests seated around the table to wish her a "Happy Birthday"!!!
