Local Man Unveils Groundbreaking Theory on Cross-Car Flatulence
San Francisco resident claims aerodynamic fart travel is a thing

"If a car cuts you off just right, the wind currents can carry certain... emissions directly into your vehicle."
A San Francisco man, who wishes to remain anonymous but goes by "Jerry S.," recently unveiled a revolutionary theory positing that flatulence can, indeed, traverse between vehicles under specific driving conditions. The proclamation came amid an incident involving a notable odor detected by fellow passengers within Jerry's own vehicle.
According to passengers, the unconventional hypothesis was introduced following a moment of deafening silence, broken only by the sudden deployment of Jerry’s windows. "It's science," Jerry began, adjusting the air conditioning to maximum strength. "If a car cuts you off just right, the wind currents can carry certain... emissions directly into your vehicle."
Jerry’s elucidation has reportedly left several local scientists both baffled and intrigued. Dr. Ima N. Vent, a presumed expert in vehicular aerodynamics, emphasized the importance of further research in this groundbreaking domain. "Though the premise is unconventional, one must consider all potential air pathways and the role of vehicle aerodynamics before dismissing such claims entirely," said Dr. Vent, while cautiously inspecting her own car's ventilation system.
Passersby and fellow motorists, however, have expressed skepticism over Jerry’s explanation. "It’s innovative thinking," noted one neighbor, while holding his nose, "but it might be more human error than scientific breakthrough."
Hoping to prove his theory, Jerry is reportedly collecting air samples during rush hour traffic on the Bay Bridge. He’s also drafting plans for an educational seminar entitled "Gas and Gusts: When Your Space Becomes His."
Meanwhile, backseat passengers are expected to carry personal canisters of air freshener as the experiment progresses. “Better safe and lavender-scented than sorry,” one frequent rider quoted.
Whether Jerry's theory will gain traction in scientific circles or simply remain a fender-bender anecdote is yet to be determined. However, for the time being, passengers are advised to travel well-ventilated and remain vigilant of cut-off vehicles.
