My uncle told me that when he was a kid, there was a family who lived down the road from them who had eight kids. He would often go to their small house for supper and to spend the night. There was a rule at that house that anybody who "broke wind" and the kids who thought it was funny had to take their supper and eat it in the outhouse for punishment. This punishment might come in handy for the ladies who have husbands who are entertained by "breaking wind" and fanning the covers.
