So then Erin kept saying it and we kept laughing until Doda came out and told us to keep quiet. Then we had crazy giggles and Erin, just as we were falling asleep and it was quiet, would say it again. Finally Guy went in to her room and pummeled her. I always felt bad because I kind of egged her on. Oh well. We still to this day laugh our asses off anytime someone says "whooooo farted?" I guess you had to be there.]
