It's basic physics. If your ears are popping, you better believe that someone aboard is passing gas. They should just drop those masks when the plane takes off. Using them could be optional. So if you appreciate the aroma like Oso does, you need not use them. As for Gypsies, I always thought the were called Rom because they rom around. Sorry. All the anthropological literature I have encountered says that they do originate from Northern India.

I know a guy who did his thing on his trip back from D.F. and the gaseous scent nearly freaked out the entire flight staff...folks were allegedly throwing up. I'm glad I wasn't in that flight.
