Doorknob

At a BYOL gathering last night, there was a very weird discussion that took place about a farting game…and I just feel the need to share it with you all.

The conversation was, of course, started by the boys and I was left trying to make some sense out of it. Let me lay all this out on the table and then provide my comments. If Person A farts, Person B can call “doorknob” and can proceed to beat Person A until Person A can find and touch a doorknob. I know I’m getting those confused WTF looks from you, but let me continue. Person A can only avoid a beat down if immediately after farting, Person A calls “safety” which would nullify this exercise and protect Person A from getting hit. Make sense?

This conversation, explanation, and discussion lasted for about half an hour last night (probably twenty nine minutes longer than it really needed to…but whatever). I was entertained by this whole concept and thought the discussion following the explanation was rather hilarious. My only concern with the game is that not only does it encourage farting in public (which I’m definitely not a strong supporter of), but if Person A farts and then proceeds to call “safety”…wouldn't you assume that the underlying meaning of that message is that Person B should run for cover because the smell is really bad? I don't know, I guess that's just me.

I was really quite intrigued by this conversation and what I learned. I guess what they say is true…you really can learn something new every day.
