Strange Superpowers

Of the myriad of superpowers I have imagined myself having, the strangest would be the ability to see people's farts (seriously, I remember thinking about this when I was kid). To literally be able to see the gas coming from the farter as he/she farts and then watch it slowly dissipate in the air would be my special power. For some reason I always thought if I had this power it would be like seeing a cloud of yellow putrid smoke. Why? I have no idea. What would having such a power accomplish? Nothing. It wouldn't make me super hero like as if I had superstrength or the ability to fly. I could only do two useful/fun things with this power. One, I could avoid areas of large quantities of human gases, and two I could make fun of/point out to everyone the person who had just farted, so they could be made fun of and ridiculed by all.

One thing I am curious about is if I could see this, how would it look? Now, as far as I know, air being exited from someone's ass doesn't just puff out behind their butt unless they are naked or mooning someone. Most likely I would often "see" people farting while they were wearing pants/dress/shorts. The question is does this gas pass through their clothes or does it say travel down the length of the pants and exit around the ankles, or does it come up through the waist? Or all 3? And how quickly? Does some of the gas stay trapped by the clothes until they are removed? Would this limit my ability to see the gas as it would dissipate more rapidly if it travelled in multiple directions before exiting the clothing to the point where I would be able to see it? What if I was on a date with a girl and she farted? Would I say something? Would I take the blame? These are important questions for us all to think about.

On second thought, having gone through college, and living in my current apartment, I don't think I would be very comfortable knowing how much and how often I am breathing in air that came from someone else's ass. Let's just drop this and never speak of it again.
