Exercising Farts

Today, while I was sitting on my dad's exercise ball, I smelled something foul coming from the sink, and I thought to myself, "The only reason that we think things smell bad is because people have told us that they smell bad, and we associate the objects that produce them as 'gross', like skunks. But really, the smells don't hurt us at all, do they? I mean, for all we know, flowers could actually be the most putrid-smelling things in the world, and skunks could be one of the most wonderful scents ever, so maybe we're just perceiving it wrong."

After this, I realized that nobody would care if I farted into the exercise ball I was sitting on, because they would never know I farted into it in the first place if they never heard the sound or saw me do it. I was wrong.

I explained my theory to my father after hearing him ask what happened to the exercise ball and why it smells like arse. After having explained it to him, he automatically jumped to the assumption that I was guilty of causing the smell. He told me I stunk and that I should go take a shower before and after using his exercise equipment, because nobody likes a "smelly boy", to which I responded, "Yeah, and nobody likes a shitty exercise ball."
