It’s important to be able to be yourself around your spouse, even if that means cutting the cheese in front of each other. The old couple in this story serve as comical inspiration for how it’s done. Laughter, after all, is the best medicine!
An elderly man and his wife had gone to bed for the night, and just as they were drifting off to sleep, she heard him fart loudly and immediately follow it up with an exclamation of “Seven points!” She rolled over and asked him what that was all about, and he explained that he was playing fart football.
A few minutes later, it was her turn to let one rip, so she followed up her fart with, “Touchdown! The score’s all tied up!” After a few minutes, he let out another blast and cheerfully announced that he was ahead again, 14 to 7.
However, it was only a couple more minutes before she tied the score up again with a toot to shake the floorboards. Not only that, a few seconds later, she let out a teensy follow-up fart, announcing, “Field goal! I’m winning by three points!”
The old man was naturally competitive and did not want to lose, so he strained with all his might. Instead of passing gas, however, he pooped. When his wife asked him what had happened, he loudly announced, “Half time! It’s time to switch sides!”
Talk about a dirty trick! But if you’re not having fun, you’re not really living.
