What if the fart was coloured instead of invisible. So you're walking down the street and across the road you see a cloud of red gas coming out of a persons ass! The world would be a funnier place, and would be easier to avoid other peoples backdraft!
no more need for the "whoever smelled it dealt it game" imagine the horror on an elevator where there is nowhere to go, and you just see this red cloud coming closer and closer. would it make more sense if the gas was brown colored?
yeah but imagine the elevator door opening with a red cloud inside, you get the option straight away to say 'i'll wait for the next one' on colour, i was thinking that there could be a spectrum going from orange to reg to purple depending on the strength of smell. Orange being a no-smeller all is well and purple being a evacutation senario.
Reminds me of a story... When I used to work in a mail room years ago, I worked with a guy that was really vain. One cold day he was taking the mail to our second building about a block away. I lied and told him that a secretary came to our mail room and that we both looked out the window and say vapor clearly coming from the back of his pants as he pushed the mail cart down the street. He was devastated thinking that a girl saw him fart.
I'm surrounded by gassy men all the time. It would look like I was living in the middle of a gay pride parade if farts had color. Just last night my husband farted in the doorway and said "don't walk through there with your mouth open" that would be so much easier it it were blue.
a funnier place? I beg to differ.. I think it'd just make farts more gross than they already are... now what we need is something actually useful, like if a person was being dishonest then they'd emit an aura of red or something..
