Since you asked, here's the original essay on flatuelence first published in the 14th edition of the Merck Manual, 1982[^]:
Flatulence, which can cause great psychosocial distress, is unofficially described according to its salient characteristics:
- The “slider” (crowded elevator type), which is released slowly and noiselessly, sometimes with devastating effect;
- The open sphincter, or “pooh” type, which is said to be of higher temperature and more aromatic;
- The staccato or drumbeat type, pleasantly passed in privacy;
- The “bark” type (described in a personal communication) is characterized by a sharp exclamatory eruption that effectively interrupts (and often concludes) conversation. Aromaticity is not a prominent feature. Rarely, this usually distressing symptom has been turned to advantage, as with a Frenchman referred to as “Le Petomane,” who became affluent as an effluent performer who played tunes with the gas from his rectum on the Moulin Rouge stage.

Our QA Engineer's name is Ravi, as well. I wonder if he has an affinity for poop and fart? I must ask...not.

First name, and I actually don't know if he is into classic rock like you. Will have to ask him some day.
I think I have mentioned before that you are a talented musician. Now, if you start producing rock music to the key of F(for fart) then my compliments might go away, as I run away.

Buy a Japanese toilet - not only do they supply a spray or a jet for more stubborn agglomerations but they heat it to your preferred temperature. As a side benefit they heat the seat as well.
You do need to check the temperature setting as the previous tenant may have set it to scalding, makes the cold jet of water seem pleasant.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I'd worry that the heat-for-the-seat is courtesy of Fukushima Daiichi Electric - permanently built into the seats materials.

Take the given name[s] of a grandparent plus the name of the first Street you lived on hyphenated with your first headteacher's surname.
I shall henceforth be Frederick George Namley-Pyke

Why do you think I made any effort over 40 years to remember the surname of my first headteacher!?! If at all I made effort to forget it!!!

My first head teacher was a nun called Sister Benigness. None of the kids could pronounce it properly, so we called her something else behind her back. I later found out that the other teachers used the same name.
So from now on, you can call me Florence Tower-Bigknickers.

My grandparents moved from Saudi to Scotland and I grew up on Bin Avenue in Aberdeenshire. My first teacher was Mary Laden, so my Tory name is Osama Bin-Laden. I should move into politics....
