Picture this:  A large auditorium
A sea of white gis
And dark hakama, thrown in
Summer Camp in San Diego
Many years ago

Probably over two hundred 
Aikidoka In the room
Sitting seiza, sweat cooling
Listening to Chiba Sensei speak

We all listen attentively, of course
Leaning forward, trying to catch
And comprehend his words and meaning
His English sometimes hard to understand

Suddenly, in the now quiet hall
Someone lets out a loud fart!
Poor bastard, two hundred plus aikidoka
[I]And[/I] Chiba Sensei and he (or she) loses it!

Chiba Sensei stops speaking and asks loudly:
[I]Who can't control their anus?[/I]
This we somehow all understand
He grins and we all laugh - 'course
No one raises their hand!

Chiba Sensei's thought is that farting
Is one way for the body to lose [I]ki[/I]
Still, if that last burrito with beans
Is still hanging around
What to do?
