Noel Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I stopped off at the Fascino pharmacy on Pattaya Nua today. After something of an inauspicious start with two assistants, I was attended to by a very knowledgeable pharmacist. I was most impressed by this lady, but unfortunately the whole experience was marred, thanks to a Thai customer. The fellow in question was well-dressed, early thirties I would say. Mid-conversation with the pharmacist, us both standing a pace away from the Thai man, he let out the longest reverberating fart of which any curry house owner would be justifiably proud. The two assistants behind the counter clearly witnessed the emission, yet both chose to inspect their shoes rather than acknowledge same. Meanwhile, I saw the pharmacist’s face slightly contort in momentary horror at the both nasal and aural invasion, but she soon composed herself and continued as if nothing was happening. This was four seconds into at least a ten second very audible anal emission. Once she had regained her composure, it was as if nothing had happened/was happening. I just stared incredulously straight at the flatulent fomenter's eyes, yet he seemed oblivious as he stared straight back, mid-stride-threatening potentially lethal gaseous expression of, perhaps, his reason for being there. I can only conclude that the Fascino staff knew him as an extremely good customer, or they were taking the principle of ‘siia naa’ (lose face) and the desire to save others from such fate to a level of which I was unaware. Hmmm, will I ever fully understand Thai culture? Now, I think perhaps not… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHarries Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 You are very lucky Thais don't eat Brussels sprouts and don't drink Guinness as I bet the electrics in the pharmacy aren't IP65 and Ex'd' rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammi Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Farting is very interesting. The Merck Manual describes it thus: "(1) The "slider" (crowded elevator type) which is released slowly and noiselessly, sometimes with devasting effect. (2) the open sphincter or "pooh" type, which is said to be of higher temperature and more aromatic; and (3) the staccato or drum-beat type, pleasantly passed in privacy. According to Merck, excess flatulence can cause great psychological distress. So, if we come across someone who is thus afflicted we should certainly not cause any added distress by glaring, sniggering, wrinkling of nose, etc. Older people often pass wind at inappropriate times.

The Thai's should stop farting around and try and get a grip on unwanted emissions. Poolution does the environment no good whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suiging Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The term " blowing the heavenly trumpet " seems appropriate. The OP is lucky Mr Brown's turtle head didn't put in an appearance.

marshbags Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) Reminds me of a time years ago in the local pictures. ( Cinema ) A friend near me tried to suppress one and let it go silently, he failed and it came out in a loud shreeking sound which had us all in stitches. A silent backside never rejoices was what we used to say after letting a noisy one off. marshbags P.S Thanks for a light hearted insight into another potential Thai face situation.
