Historical Farts- Theodore Roosevelt

While giving a speech on his Bull Moose Campaign Trail in 1912, Teddy Roosevelt saw a man pull out a gun from close range. The man John Schrank was spotted by Roosevelt out of the corner of his eye. Instead of calling on the Secret Service to stop Schrank, Roosevelt used this oppurtunity to conceal a fart he had been keeping in all speech. As the shot fired, he let it out. After a brief pause he continued the speech.
