Boyfriend farts in his girlfriends face, can’t understand why she leaves the dinner: ‘I’m making this a bigger deal by trying to punish him’

I am part of the silent (but deadly) majority who thinks farts are funny. I was a huge South Park fan growing up, and so many of my favorite episodes included Terrance and Phillip, the fictional Canadian comedy duo who are obsessed with farting on each other.
