if you are a man and have brothers you know what a cup-o-fart is.
you fart into your cupped hand and then you throw it in a person’s face. Usually a guy’s face because it’s funny. If you do it to a woman it’s funny but it also means you’re an asshole.
so anyways… today at work… yes at work…
This cuban dude who is our graphic designer is in my office. (back story… he took elevated our relationship to level ‘fart in front me’ several months ago.) he is standing there telling me about a logo he is designing for me and very quickly while he is standing in my office i bust out a 2 second cup-o-fart (2 seconds from start to face) and throw it at him… caught off guard, it backs him out of my office but he laughs, comes back to finish his story, swears revenge (hasnt happened yet) and that’s that.
10 minutes later i am sitting in one of our large vacant perimeter offices, with a window with a colleague. We are waiting to make a conference call with a colleague on the east coast (Nova Scotia)… after one unsuccessful attempt to contact the guy we are planning our conversation out and i bust out another successful 2-second ‘cup-o-fart’ from across the desk… he backs out of the office… in disgust exclaiming “i cant beleive that works”
fast forward 30 minutes, we are back in the office on the conference call but the guy out east is having a real had time hearing us due to poor mic in the phone we are using… this means we have to stand close to the phone.
the call opens up, i do my 2 minute intro and hand it over to my colleague PJ… he is discussing some important subject matter about the goodwill on some network aquisitions so that we can consult on other aquisistions…
while he has his face by the phone i break out a nice 4 second ‘cup-o-fart’ (higher intensity due to hand cupping anus for an extra second+) and feed it to him.
he is mid conversation trying to be professional and therefore cannot cut away from the phone, he has to stay exactly where he is and continue to talk… he is frantically waving his hands around but not losing a step in his words…
i am laughing so hysterically that i am completely silent with my hands over my face.
i win.
