Tandem etiquette (Reference to farting :-))) Especially relevant to the Tandem Pilot



Fire in the hole position!

A question that comes up, but not talked about: "What about FARTING on a tandem"

I will attempt to write up the first recorded protocol to prevent tandem violence in the first degree.

1. Nutrition: Eat right - Search Google
2. If NO 1 fails and a MEE is eminent, follow this drill..

• First warn the stoker - give the stoker time to prepare mentally for what will follows(happy stoker happy ride?)
• Lift your bum - fire in the hole position!
• Aim sideways - remember the stoker is not a target!!! - this protocol make provision for exceptions thou- such as, if you need to enhance stoker performance with autocratic threatening behaviour.........lol
• Instruct the stoker to take a deep breath......
• Yell: "fire in the hole"
• Count down from 3,2,1....
• Present your flatulence as humanely as possible, and with the least noise pollution possible.
• Look back for any signs of life and possible survivors...
• Resuscitate the stoker if necessary...!
• Continue with your ride!
