if I said the word "fart." It was like saying a swear word. If a person, adult, child, anyone NOT in diapers has to pass gas, they should treat it like they have to go to the bathroom and leave the room. If one squeaks out by accident, the person should politely say "excuse me" and be done with it. Where have decent manners gone these days?

Time for schools to bring back manners 101...now THAT is a class I wouldn't mind seeing my heard-earned tax money helping to pay for.
