It wasn’t what you think…
Everyone can relate to this:
Accidentally making a little fart sound with your shoe.
That’s a sweet piece of blogging right there. I was gonna get around to covering that subject myself, but I just thought Buzz did a much finer job. Classic.
What do you guys do in that situation? I immediately try to re-create it- if that doesn’t work I’ll either announce it to everyone that it was a false alarm. Tends to shatter that tension pretty well.

I usually wave my hand in front of my face and point to the nearest person in disgust. Or the family dog/cat/fish if no people are nearby. Much easier. Besides, no one believes you if you claim it’s your shoe.

Here’s my solution…as soon as it happens take full responsability and say:
“Oops, sorry guys I had a bean burrito for breakfast” with a smile.
The comical relief will break the tension and you can either leave it at that or then say
“juts kiddin it was just my stupid squeaky shoe”

I defenitely try to recreate it as I turn bright red because I know no one believes me…

The problem with the “re-create theory” (which is the route I chose) is that if it takes too long, then everyone just thinks you “re-created” another little butt-buddy.
Yeah, it’s pretty much a no-win situation.
