Pass the Pepto, Please

What do you do when you’re winning at an outdoor card game but your stomach really hurts?

You pass gas loudly, laugh, and say “Better to bare the shame than the pain.”  Then you continue with the game as if nothing happened.

OMG.

Apparently everyone thought it was hilarious, but when I heard this story at 10 years old, I was mortified.

Still am. Can you imagine?

All I can say is she must have been winning serious cash that night and couldn’t leave the table.  Even if she was about to explode.

Which, from all accounts, sounds like she did.
