Al has behaved like a person who cuts a real stinker in a crowded elevator and is hoping the stench dissipates before anyone notices.
Your comment makes it sound like you think there's something wrong with that?? I'd agree, much better to exit the elevator before the stench dissipates. Leave 'em casting sidelong glances at each other, wondering whodunit.
Reminds me of Benjamin Disraeli, the Jewish Prime Minister of England in the mid 1800's. He was quoted as saying, "Never complain, never explain".
Henry Ford II was caught by a camera crew, coming out of a fancy hotel with a blonde on this arm (for sure not his wife). When asked what he had to say, he quoted Disraeli, got in his waiting lemo and they drove off...
I like your "fart in the elevator" strategy. Works for me...
Or like the guy in church, let a big one go, led his small son out by the hand. Now, who was gonna believe that small lad could produce a "bass fiddle" quality fart...
