Taco Bell Bowlz

[randell]

You may have seen those new Taco Bell Bowlz at grocery stores.  Avoid them at all costs.  I got some for a recent vacation thinking they would be good if we didn't want to leave the hotel room for a meal.  The idea seemed good - just throw them in the microwave for 90 seconds and you have a meal.  They don't taste too bad for instant meals, but the aftereffects are deplorable.  My entire family nearly exploded with gas.  I had to fan the hotel room door for 5 minutes to air out the room.  Towards the end of the "airing out" the guy in the room next to me walks up.  I "blew it off" by saying the room heater worked really well and I had to cool the room off.  He agreed that the heaters were hard to calibrate.  I don't know if he knew what was going on but I think he was holding his breath as he unlocked his door.

I laughed so hard I hurt myself.

Maybe a better title for this thread would be "Death Comes Quickly."

Once upon a time there lived a woman who had a maddening passion for baked beans. She loved them but unfortunately they had always had a very embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction to her.
Then one day she met a guy and fell in love.  When it became apparent that they would marry she thought to herself, "He is such a sweet and gentle man, he would never go for this carrying on."

So she made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.

Some months later her car broke down on the way home from work.  Since she lived in the country she called her husband and told him that she would be late because she had to walk home.

On her way she passed a small diner and the odor of the
baked beans was more than she could stand. Since she still had miles to walk, she figured that she would walk off any ill effects by the time she reached home. So, she stopped at the diner and before she knew it, she had consumed three large orders of baked beans.  All the way home she putt-putted. And upon arriving home she felt reasonably sure she could control it.

Her husband seemed excited to see her and exclaimed delightedly, "Darling, I have a surprise for dinner tonight."  He then blindfolded her and led her to her chair at the table. She seated herself and just as he was about to remove the blindfold from his wife, the telephone rang. He made her promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned.

He then went to answer the phone.

The baked beans she had consumed were still affecting her and the pressure was becoming almost unbearable, so while her husband was out of the room she seized the opportunity, shifted her weight to one leg and let it go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of pulpwood mill. She took her napkin and fanned the air around her vigorously.  Then, she shifted to the other cheek and ripped three more, which reminded her of cooked cabbage.

Keeping her ears tuned to the conversation in the other room, she went on like this for another ten minutes. When the phone farewells signaled the end of her freedom, she fanned the air a few more times with her napkin, placed it on her lap and folded her hands upon it, smiling contentedly to herself.

She was the picture of innocence when her husband returned, apologizing for taking so long, he asked her if she peeked, and she assured him that she had not.

At this point, he removed the blindfold, and she was surprised!!

There were twelve dinner guests seated around the table to wish her a "Happy Birthday"!!!

Oh man, Taco Hell is bad enough fresh. Buying it pre-packaged from the store is just asking for trouble  Thanks for the warning, although a good case of the stink-pooties is great for family bonding 

That reminds me, the other morning I was standing in the kitchen next to my son. I let fly with a good one, and he responded, "daddy... you need a diaper".

   You should search out the air-pootie (sic) tent thread.  Only 3 pages long.
