In high school, I knew a guy named Gus Martinez. I recently found him through mutual friends on Facebook. Back in high school, Gus was a fun, approachable guy, but the most amazing thing about him was that he could fart at will.
Our friend Brian Harrington was the first to point it out to me. He said, "Check it out. Gus can fart at will. Gus: fart." And Gus (or rather, Gus' ass) would respond without missing a beat, "Phtpltphhtpltptpt..." At first, I thought it was staged, but you could sneak up behind Gus between classes while he was talking to others and say, "Gus: fart!" and he would respond in the only way that makes this story worth telling: "Phtpltphhtpltptpt..."
Years later, I was flipping through the pages of GQ (or something) magazine. Halfway through the magazine, there was an ad. I forget what the ad was for (although, it may have been Calvin Klein), but the subject of the ad was Gus Martinez. I remember calling to my girlfriend at the time.
"Hey! Come here! This guy! This guy right here. I went to high school with him. His name is Gus Martinez. He can fart at will!"
