A young man finally agrees to meet the parents of the young woman he's been dating.

But by the time he gets to their house, his nerves have put him in a state of gastric distress.

The problem develops into one of acute flatulence, and halfway through dinner he realizes he can't hold it in a second longer without exploding. A tiny fart escapes.

"Spot!" the girlfriend's mother calls to the family dog, who is lying at the young man's feet.

Relieved that the dog took the blame, he lets a slightly larger one slip out.

"Spot!" she calls sharply. The young man thinks he's got it made and decides to let a big one go, which he believes will put an end to his problem.

"Spot!!!" shrieks the mother. "Get over here before he craps on you!"
