Had to wear one at the Dr office the other day. Sitting there waiting for my next "test", look over, there's an old gal with a paper towel hanging from the bridge of her nose from a strip of "Scotch tape". Me, I was in full "save me from The Corona" mode. Safety glasses and all. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/1zY7rJjm/IMG-20200515-102819704.jpg) Officer to witness: "mam, can you identify the perpatrator?"

Shocking but true.
"My farts don't stink." Mine smell like roses............. or so I've been telling the wife for 15 years or so. Y'all do play "turtle"? You both get under the sheets, someone farts. The first one to stick a head out from under the sheet in the "turtle"... Check it out. She may like it, although I haven't had success at my house...  DF

Serious question. How big is a fart molecule? Hard to say. They go through underwear and bluejeans quite well, but coveralls seem to funnel them up to your nose. Chest waders are the absolute worst. The disposable paper coveralls I used to keep the grease and crap of my clothes while cleaning equipment did a fairly good job of funneling too. Bed sheets too. Specially 1000 TPI satin ones! Could make a parachute or dirigible outa them things.

Wearing masks works best for robbing gas stations.

What you smell from a fart is methane, which is a gas. Nope, methane is clear and odorless (Wiki) which is why natural gas has Mercapton added to it so it can be smelled.

I don't think it helps unless you're around known sick people. I any don't believe that people with no symptoms can spread this virus. If I have a slight fever, a cough, sneezing, headache, diarrhea, or minor sore throat I'm keeping my ass at home. The N95 masks that the healthcare are supposed to wear block 95% of vapors and I see healthcare workers that aren't even wearing the mask properly. When I spray automotive paint (that can kill me) I wear a mask that's rated N100, goggles and a paint suit to keep the paint off my skin.
I just got my first haircut since Feb 8 and I asked the barber if he wanted me to wear my mask when I walked in. He said he did because he would get shut down if he got caught cutting a customer's hair if him and the customer weren't both wearing masks. I wore my N95 mask (my paint mask covers up to much of my head) and he wore a cheap mask of some kind. He's a good barber but I was amazed that he was able to give me a good haircut with 2 elastic straps around my head.
I ate Mexican food and had a Margarita with a friend last week for the first time since this fake lockdown. The waitress was hot, and the food was great (plenty of it). I gave her a big tip. As far as I am concerned this circus needs to end right now!

Always wash your hands before lunch. And ........... The boss is an [bleep]! Geno PS I know, you're the boss.............so you likely knew that already.

Wearing masks works best for robbing gas stations. And convenience stores. I call it my 7-11 charge card.

The masks we are all so dutifully wearing - whether commercial or home-made - are just about useless for stopping airborne virus. That goes for incoming as well as outgoing particles. That's because none of those masks seal airtight. That's why your glasses fog - your exhale is escaping unfiltered. So does the inhale.
We wear them because we are told to, because we will be denied service if we don't, or because we simply don't know any better. But not because they actually work.

The same reason I slip on a pair of sandals when I get out of the car to go in the store. (in many states there really is no LAW requiring shirts and shoes to go in the store)
