Score: 2 / 5
A nervous young man gets ready to meet his girlfriend’s parents for the first time for a meal at their house. He has always suffered with his nerves and his stomach is in knots at the thought of meeting them, finding things to talk about and of course creating a good impression. The evening gets off to a good start, with smiles all round and pleasantries galore. Sitting at the dinner table the young man is still not feeling at ease. As the formality of the occasion gets to him, his stomach swells with wind. He grimaces with pain, desperate not to fart at such a crucial time. He cannot hold it in and as he breaks out in a sweat he lets it go, his face turning crimson with embarrassment. His girlfriends father shouts, "Benjamin!.” As the young man lifts his head slowly - he cannot believe his luck - her father is staring at the dog who had sprawled itself at the young mans feet to relax and await some titbits from the table. The young man relaxes his shoulders and feels a little better - he had managed to get away with it.
Two courses later and the familiar griping pains in his stomach have returned, he is full of roast dinner, having been too polite to refuse third helpings. He shifts in his seat trying to relieve some pressure but the pain mounts and he has to fart. He hangs his head praying that nobody notices. His girlfriends father shouts "Benjamin!". Astounded by his good fortune at not being found out and shown up, the young man finally begins to relax - thinking to himself - he could probably get away with it again.
The next couple of times during dessert that he feels the need to fart - he does so without hesitation, he can't stand to be in pain with wind and thinks to himself, better out than in..... he'll blame the dog anyway. Sure enough, his girlfriends father shouts "Benjamin!" both times. With dinner finished and the young man completely at ease, and enjoying his experience, the party retires to the living room for coffee. The young man sits on the sofa - his girlfriend sits next to him and the dog settles down on the sofa on the other side of him. He feels the need to fart again and cannot see the problem in doing so as the dog seems to like him and thankfully has sat so close. He is so relaxed and feeling that nothing can go wrong now, that he unintentionally lets out the biggest fart of the evening so far.
