My compliments to the chef!

Tonight, Gryffin farted, and I went: "Gryffin! What do you say?!"
He merely gets up and brings his plate to the kitchen to put it on the counter.
James replies: My compliments to the chef!"
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "I still can't believe that there's a culture that considers burping at a table to be a sign of respect and a compliment to the person who cooked."
James laughs. "Can you imagine being at a restaurant and me going into one of those burps that resembles the Fifth Element?"

If you have never seen the movie The Fifth Element, there is a scene in which the main character - the Supreme Being, Leelu - throws her head back and discharges a ton of energy to destroy an invading, moon sized being of pure evil, out of her mouth. James has - on occasion, had to burp so hard and long that it really did resemble this scene, lol!

Anyway, we are both rolling from laughing so hard at the mental image of my husband doing this at a restaurant in which it's considered a compliment. James mimes the burp, and then pretends to pass out afterwards, lol! He says:
"And the chef would be standing off to the side with his hand over his heart and tears pouring from his eyes: 'Never in my life has anyone loved my food so much!'"

I was sitting on a bean bag chair on the floor, laying really, so I literally was rolling on the floor laughing at this point. My hubby continues.

"And the customers sitting across the table would be waving their hands in front of their noses, wishing they had a towel to dry off with and gas masks. They'd send up a pray of thanks that they weren't at the restaurant that expects farts as compliments! That would be hilarious! 'Oh no! Here it comes!'"

He makes a sound like a seriously raunchy fart rolling out longer than thunder. Then he says:
"Sir? Sir! Your compliment can stop there! Sir! We have gas stoves here! It's a fire hazard!" "Sorry, I can't, your problem now!"

Oh Gods! I don't know why, but any time he starts joking about farts, it always cracks me up! It's probably because his jokes are so true to life, lol!
