Husband and wife team Jim and Sharron Huza have created a special filtration cushion that they claim not only dampens the sound caused by malodorous gas (farting), but also absorbs 90% of the odor emitted.

The product is easy to use. Simply force the flatulent bugger to sit on the cushion and let him resume his normal activities. In time, people near him will find him more approachable and less offensive.

According to the manufacturer’s web site, the average person passes gas an average of 14 times a day. The special replacable carbon filter lasts about 6 months for women and 3 months for men. The cushion covers are machine washable as well.

Rebecca Lau, who certainly doesn’t commit many flatulent offences, referred the site to me. We started discussing how fun it would be to work in this company. Where else can you get a raise from cutting a big one in front of your boss?

Even if you’re not interested in the product, I would suggest you visit the manufacturer’s web site. It’s full of interesting foul-gas-related information. Imagine how impressed your peers will be when you tell them that health consciousness has led to an increase in fiber intake, which is the leading known cause of intestinal gas discharges.

And you can assure them that you’re not just blowing hot air out of your bum, by referring them to the GasBGon web site.
