You can't Fart at a dinner Party?

The only thing I like about Malls is you can fart at will. Just let them go as your walking along. I think everybody farts in Malls...don't you?
You can fart at a Mall.
You can not fart at a dinner party.
I did, now I'm The Guy who Farted at our Dinner Party.
I was at our very good friends The Lumby's on Saturday night and we were having a lovely time talking about this and that and the other thing. The food was good and the wine did flow and at one point I may have lifted my right cheek and squeezed out some air.
I said may have because I'm trying to maintain a degree of denial.
I thought there was a sufficient level of covering noise and that no one could possibly hear my toot.
Plus, there were three large dogs should any smell visit upon us and several children I could blame.
But nooooooo. All conversation stopped.
All except my wife. "Did you fart?" she inquired?
I looked horrified.
"What are you talking about? I would never fart at a dinner party! It must be the dogs/children."
At this point the party goers all ganged up on me and berated me for my foul behavior.
I continued to deny like OJ and tried to change the subject.
"I'm telling you I didn't fart..now who made this delicious cous cous?"
We didn't actually have any cous cous but I thought that might throw them off!

The discussion moved on to girls tongue-kissing ( a particular favorite of many boys) but a barrier had been broken. Some social covenant had been breached.
I may or may not have Farted at a grown up Dinner Party. Too bad we weren't eating at a Mall.
