For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 21, 2009

My wife, who is 5’ 2” and ways just over a hundred pounds could out belch a biker. And…believe it or not…she has class.

That’s a good way of not ever getting pop again, kiddo.

My youngest daughter used to belch like that (involuntarily!) from milk and water :) Drove her siblings nuts!!!

some Amash think that belching is the way to say that the food was good.

That is the question.

I think the burping is not polite to do that. When I accidentally burp, I have to say politely “Oops! excuse me!”

why do natural bodily functions gross people out? We all know we do it!! LOL! (‘toot”) :-)

There are a lot of natural body functions that I’d rather not witness - there’s a reason bathrooms come with doors.

A truly good belch not only relieves pressure - it has a way of making a poetic statement, a sort of gastro intestinal Haiku.

In some Muslim countries, a host would be insulted if a dinner guest did NOT belch. It is a way of saying the food is good.

Shoot, this is a rerun of a rerun.

should say BARRAAAACK!!!!! ;)

Like how Calvin’s bike always maims him lol.

We MAKE babies burp. So they are more comfortable and are pleased when they do. When they get older we discourage it. Isn’t comfort important when we grow older? Manners and culture differences, interesting concepts. ;-)

Not sure if people would buy tickets to see “Michael, the Amazing Burper!” :)
