Baked Beans

One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love.

When it became apparent that we would marry,

I made the supreme sacrifice and gave upbeans.

Some months later, on my birthday,

my car broke down on the way homefrom work.

Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband

and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home.

On my way,

I passed by a small diner and the odor of baked beans

was more than I could stand.

With miles to walk,

I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home,

so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it,

I had consumed three large orders of baked beans.

All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas.

Upon my arrival,

my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly:

"Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight."

He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table.

I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold,

thetelephone rang.

He made me promise not to touch the blindfold

until he returned and went to answer the call.

The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me

and the pressure was becoming most unbearable,

so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity,

shifted my weight to one leg and let one go.

It was not only loud,

but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk

in front of a pulpwood mill.

I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously.

Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more.

The stink was worse than cooked cabbage.

Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room,

I went on like this for another few minutes.

The pleasure was indescribable.

When eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom,

I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin,

placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it

feeling very relieved and pleased with myself.

My face must have been the picture of innocence

when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long.

He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold,

and I assured him I had not.

At this point, he removed the blindfold,

and twelve dinner guestsseated around the table chorused:

"Happy Birthday!"

....I fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this in the email today!
