Overheard at a public washroom

I was at a public washroom and overheard a very strange conversation. This exchange made me realize (again) that some people simply do not have personal boundaries. Woman number one was standing, washing her hands, while woman number two was inside a cubicle (so I could not ascertain her exact position). I translated their words into English, but believe me, it was way funnier the way they said it in Filipino. They conducted this conversation without moving from their respective places.

(WARNING: If you are easily offended by talk of bodily functions, read no further.)

Woman #2: There’s something wrong with my tummy.

Woman #1: (Sounding concerned) Really? Does it hurt?

Woman #2: Not really, I just can’t stop farting.

Woman #1: Well, maybe you have a bum stomach.

Woman #2: Well, if that’s the case, why don’t I feel like taking a crap?

(Short pause. Then loud fart.)

Woman #2: See? It’s all air! Nothing else is coming out.

At this point, I just had to leave the washroom. Not only because of the smell, but also because I couldn’t hold in my laughter anymore. (And we all know what happens if we hold in our laughter for too long.)
