I am reminded of the time Guff was attending a rather posh dinner in some grand country mansion. Underways, he just had to let one rip, and as it was far from silent, turned to the footman standing behind him, and said sternly, in an attempt to put the blame on the servant, "Kindly stop that, my good man!"

Reminds me of a greetings card I saw in W H Smiths many years ago. It showed a Victorian scene of a melodramatic nature. It portrayed one distressed lady; one distressed, terrified and cowering gentleman (his top hat in the gutter and his cape awry) and towering over him a Flashman sort of cove brandishing a cane or sword stick. Incontinent with fury he was bellowing, "How dare you fart before my wife!" The cowering gentlemen, pleading for mercy, declares, "I'm sorry! I didn't know it was her turn!"
I've never seen it since and I regret not buying it. The sheer waste! 🤣
