slipping and sliding

A couple weeks ago, I was walking down my snow covered street and all of a sudden I see this lady absolutely wipe out. I am sure she was a little embarrassed because she just laid on the ground for a least a minute. Finally, she gets to her feet... and then in blink of an eye she's down again. Poor lady she just lays in the snow like a beetle on its back. I am trying not to laugh, but its free comedy. Groceries are everywhere, but she appears unharmed.

I turn to my girlfriend, "How in the world did that lady fall down twice....." Before I could even finish my sentence I went down for the count. Much like the lady I just laid in the snow. Of course we were dying laughing and I wallowed in the snow for a moment. I gather my senses and pull myself to my feet, but as soon as I get my up I slip and fall again. But on my way down, the fart I was holding in came roaring out. This made us laugh even harder. Thank goodness it was just gas... because this story could have taken a turn for the worse.

Recap: Fall... fart... fall... lose my pride and dignity.

My point: Holding in gas can lead to slippery situations.
