Speaking of Fart machines, this brings a fond memory back to me... My friend L and I found some fart spray and just had to buy it. We thought "Wow, how cool is this? Farts in a can! Oh, the jokes we can play... and just in time for April Fool's Day." Well, turns out WE were the fools. We were out in the hall way at work, walking past all these closed doors to the manager's offices... spraying the fart spray under their doors as we went... laughing almost hysterically... trying to be quiet. We were trying to do the impossible. As we finished the last of the doors, we discovered we could smell this AWFUL smell coming from our hands. The cans LEAKED on our hands! Which of course made us laugh even harder. We could hardly stand. We finally made it to the restroom and washed our hands, washed them several times... we went back to work, and noticed we could still smell this shit (literally!!). We tried lemon juice, scented anti-bacterial gel, anything we could get our hands on... still stunk. A couple hours later, I had a brilliant idea. Try some Formula 409 cleaner. What do you know... it worked! We were so relieved. Went back to work, started smelling it again... smelled our hands, nope, they were OK... finally figured out the smell was coming from our keyboards! We immediately got new keyboards. I think we laughed harder about the stuff getting on our hands than we did spraying the spray under the doors. Hillarious! Happy April Fools' to us. We haven't tried this trick again, but when we get brave enough, we'll use rubber gloves. :-)
