Have you suffered from HAFE?

At 19,341 feet Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa, and draws about 35,000 climbers every year. But those visitors are leaving more than footprints: Rip-roaring bouts of flatulence are standard-issue up here. An article in the Huffington Post estimated that these climbers release 75 cubic meters of intestinal gas in a year. (I don’t know how they arrived at that figure. I’m just glad I was not the one who measured all those fumes.)
When I asked my Tanzanian guides, Arnold Fredrick and Michael John, if climbers fart much on Kilimanjaro, they looked at me, confused. Then I made a noise like an eighth grader, and they laughed. Yes, they said, climbers do tend to blaze a trail, especially on summit day.

In the Millis lexicon, barking spiders = trouser frogs = anal applause = crack splitter, among dozens I've forgotten.
My dad was called "Boomer." Away from Mom, we were "little farts."
What does a Trump fart sound like?
Just listen to his last State of the Union address.

It's not a Nomad. Nomads were a two-door station wagon, a separate animal from the Bel Air, originally. However, the Nomad BECAME the Bel Air Nomad in common usage after '55. It had a shorter wheelbases than the standard Chevys.
Corrections or additions appreciated.
Our nine-passenger Ford was no competition, some might say.
We were a Chevy family, next thing I know, we're in a Ford.
One year I'm in a Catholic school, next year I'm in public school.
Makes my head spin thinkin' on it at my age.

It’s a 57 and not a Nomad. Nomads were 2 door wagons with lots of do dads. They made a plain jane 2 door panel wagon called the Handyman
