Had a third-grade student - very quiet little blond guy. One day while the class was taking a test he gave a soft little cough. This was followed by a series of coughs that increased in frequency and volume as he tried to clear his throat of some small irritant. Everyone stopped working on the test to see how this played out. He finally gave one last, loud cough that got the job done. Unfortunately, his effort also produced a resounding fart that pretty much rattled the windows and blew test papers off of desks. We all tried, unsuccessfully, to contain ourselves.
