At what speed do farts travel?

[umop3pisdn]

The other day I farted, and the instant the fart left my hole, I smelled it. (And no my head wasn't anywhere near it.) I didn't realize farts could travel at such an alarming speed.

Although on separate occasions, it can take up to 5 - 10 seconds for a fart to be smelled. Sometimes even 30 + seconds.

Thoughts?

the average fart speed is 20 miles an hour

people with super strong ass.holes maybe get as high as 45 miles per hour

I farted in work yesterday and about 3 seconds later someone 15 feet away was like "Fwahhh who's farted.. that's diguisting!"

I also engulfed a 25x15 foot room in about 6-7 seconds in college the other day, damn 4 far streak..

if there is no current smell in the air, then farts will travel faster as they will fill up the air. If there is already strong smells in the air, then the air will not be able to hold as much gas. Also, if the air was already traveling in a particular direction, and the river of air catches the gas, the gas will go up with the air which can be pretty fast. Also, if you have a strong anus, it can push the gas out causing it to accelerate at very high speeds.

Dunno, but the slower they are, the more they stink (usually).
