Let's visit the geography of a bathroom: It's a small confined space.

Let's also visit the decor of a bathroom: There are no or few absorbant materials to soak in aromas.

Let's recount the physics of a bathroom: Non-absorbant materails only bounce offending odors back to your olfactory nerves (just as the fart echo has reverberated to your auditory canal.)

Geodecophsyically speaking, the bathroom IS a fart amplifier in every sense. (Well, in at least two senses.)

Because heat + fart = amplified odor. Why don't you try farting directly on an open flame to prove my theory?

"...farting directly on an open flame..."

This sounds like the voice of experience. Is that how you got the name SmudgePot?

I once farted into the refrigerator to see if chilling would improve the aroma. My unsuspecting wife said it made no difference.

Did she say whether it was an improvement over your collection of limberger cheeses?

I dunno but its always fun to fart in the tub!

The first complete phrase I learned to say in Japanese was,,,Mushi-ga boku-no oshiri-ni imasu. This means, there is a bug on my ass and was used so I could fart on her as she searched my ass for the bug. She is a long suffering woman and I love her more as time passes.

WOW! AWESIME! 9 posts- all original thoughts and not one of those long ass cut-n-pasted medical journal entries...

...And why is it that while water makes a fart smell worse, the very thing that makes a fart stink in the first place(a turd) smells worse dry?

It has to do with Boyle's law.....the mass of gas is porportional to the heat of the ass.

Maybe the steam might makes the smell a little more accessible to your sinus cavities.

Daphne is correct as usual. In chemistry, the method is called steam distillation. Think about it the next time you throw a tablespoon of salt into the boiling pot just before you add the pasta. You can smell the salt right? Same principle explains why your smelly farts are even smellier in the shower.

I think I'd agree (to an extent) with CKK here, even though CKK has had a sense-of-humorectomy.
I once had a Boyle on my arse, and when it burst, it stunk like hell.

I agree that the steam will intensify the breath of fetid air. i love bath farts. i like to judge how big the fart is by the size the air bubbles that come to the surface. i always thought the water made my farts smell sweeter.

"Is that how you got the name SmudgePot?"

That's funny.. but no, if that were the case then SingeButt would have been a better choice.

Chief, I work in restaraunt, and I have farted in the walk in freezer several times and I tell you...it lingers. I have even had co-workers say " I know stuff doesn't get smelly when it's frozen in the freezer.. but it stinks in there!' (snicker snicker)I LOOOVE farting in the shower!! I like the way the water feels like a vibra blorp.

"I think I'd agree (to an extent) with CKK here, even though CKK has had a sense-of-humorectomy."

My sister in law had one of these somewhere along the line or she she was born without one in the first place. I would like to get her one. Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I have a shower amplifier to sell in trade.

I've heard that wetting your nose makes you able to detect odors better. So, I guess that in the shower or bath, your nose is wet, so you smell things more intensely.

Interesting Montreal gal. i've noticed after i irrigate my nasals with the Netti pot that my sense of smell is heightened for a few seconds

For any of those who have ever smoked illegal weed through a bong, you know that the water, through which the smoke bubbles, acts a a filter and removes some of the harshness.

If we accept that as fact then it would seem reasonable to assume that a fart in the tub is filtered of its impurities as it bubbles its merry way to the surface.

_______

The impurities probably end up on your nutsack!

That would only apply to young men Spat....When we enter our dotage our balls float to the surface of the bath and keep our nutsacks out of harms way!

_______

Haha. Good Question. However I find my farts so intense the shower has no effect on them.

Chief, I think you just must be keepin yer nut sack empty.

Hmm...

So THATS why Mrs. Thunderbutt endures your entrails...

The heat from the water amplifies the smells of your Butt Horn but I think the fact that the use of soaps and shampoos makes everything smell pretty pleasurable, and then the waft of decaying cow corpses destroys the olfactory pleasures of St. Ives' Soy Milk & Lotus Blossom body wash.

When the shower is steamy the smell always seems worse

Yer all a bunch of Woosies. Just use zicam for awhile and burn out your nose smeller ability like I did. Then you can deal with allll kinds of fun smells. Cat turds, poopie diapers, twin barf, pig farms, you name it! I caint smell it! I should work at the sewer plant. Wonder if they pay ya more because of the smell...

Here in these parts, we call that shower fart effect "Ass Mosis" - the diffusion of molecules through a semi-permeable membrane.

my boyfriend thinks they stink worse in the tub because the good stuff is getting filtered out by the water and only the stinkiest stuff comes out of the water. Like a Bill Nye Science guy type thing, he thinks there's like a scientific molecular process occurring to make it stinkier!

I think its the simple fact that the tub smells good with all the soap and shampoo and then suddenly fart smell rips through the goodness and YUCK!
