This is technically not a confession since I didn't actually do it but since we are on the subject of farting and kendo....
At the end of keiko back in California somebody, I don't know who but I am sure it was one of the little kids, let out a hum-dinger of a fart during mokuso while it was dead silent. I am sitting there listening to the crickets on a May evening, trying to calm my heart beat, and then BRRRRAAAAAP!!!! I should have looked for a dent in the floor because then I would have known who it was. What amazed me is that nobody even so much as choked back a little snigger at it. Again it was dead silent; like a scratch in a CD, there was slight disruption but the band played on. I had to practically bite through my cheek so I wouldn't be the only idiot dying with laughter at the mother of all farts! I am laughing now just recalling it. Seriously this thing would have received a blue ribbon at the county fair. I wouldn't be surprised if whoever ripped it got a little airborne. This was a fart that could end a marriage.
