conference that contained a whoopee cushion. I had been fighting a pretty bad cold (this will become relevant later). There were six of us waiting at the bus station to return to our areas. I showed some of the Brazilian elders the whoopee cushion and they didn't think they were real because they had only ever seen them in movies, and I'm not sure they fully grasped the concept. I told them to watch as I put the cushion behind my back (I was sitting in a chair at the bus station).

My companion came over to me (he was a Brazilian and didn't know about the cushion). My comp asked how I was feeling and I told him that I wasn't feeling very good (not a total lie). He asked if I was getting worse and I told him that I had a terrible stomach ache. He asked if I needed anything and I started to tell him no, then paused and leaned back into the whoopee cushion releasing the longest juiciest sounding fart that any of those guys had ever heard. I will never forget the look on my companions face, and the other elders couldn't stop laughing. It was good times.
