A fart in the dark

A young middle age woman walked into the nursing home to vote. An antiseptic, old people smell greeted her. There was a sign that said,”Don’t let the cat out”. She continued down the hallway resisting the urge to hold her nose, but not taking a very deep breath either. In front of her was a long curvy line that had no ending. She took her place at the end and watched the old people nap. Something began rubbing against her leg. The familiar sensation made her smile. She bent over to rub the cat and her scarf fell on the cat. The cat took off running with her scarf. Trotting quietly after the cat, room after room flew by. The cat darted into the room on the left that said,”Not without permission.” Not seeing the sign, in she flew. In the room, the young middle age woman saw an old woman with what looked like no face & grey long hair. Nosiness took over and closer to the old woman she crept. Standing over the old woman,she stared. Without warning, a fart bellowed and the lady opened her eyes! Eek!
