This is a story you really hope doesn’t follow through but it does confirm the age-old truisms of the less couth among us – a fart is better out than in, even for sharply dressed pilots.Danish and British gastroenterologists have released a report on letting one rip – they call it flatulence – inspired by a flight between Copenhagen and Tokyo.The report says pilots should cut the cheese for safety reasons but admit passengers may lose the attention of attendants should they indulge.
