We are assuming we suddenly find ourselves in an alternate universe where physical laws are somewhat different than they are here. And/or, a miricle occures and God changes the human body.
My opinion is stupid and wrong.

I voted for the telephone sound. My reasoning is if one were to have flatulence, he/she could rush over to the phone, answer it, hang up and mutter "damn telemarketers" and no one would be the wiser. It would be harder to explain a bagpipe sound, etc. suddenly occuring in the room.

I voted for freight train. This is because I'm from Alabama. Let me explain.

Anytime there is a tornado in Alabama, the news people find the most...shall we say...rural person they can find to interview. Missing teeth. Overalls. Unbelievably thick accent. The conversation always goes like this:

Q: What was it like?
A: Well, me and Tammy Jack wuz sittin' watching wrasslin' and then the weatherman come on and then we heared it. It sounded jus like a freight train a-comin'. We grabbed up the babies, Tammy Jo and Billy Roy, and we crawled up under the kitchen table.

This basic interview form now extends to a variety of news events. Let's say that a sinkhole suddenly appears up on Highway 21.

Q: What was it like?
A: Well, me and Tammy Jack wuz sittin' watching wrasslin' and then the then we heared it. The asphalt was sinking. It sounded jus like a freight train a-comin'. We grabbed up the babies, Tammy Jo and Billy Roy, and we crawled up under the kitchen table.

Let's say, oh, I don't know----Dick Cheney comes to town to tour the scene of a natural disaster.

Q: What was it like?
A: Well, me and Tammy Jack wuz sittin' watching wrasslin' and then they said Mr. Cheney was coming this way to shake our hands. And then we heared it. It sounded jus like a freight train a-comin'. We grabbed up the babies, Tammy Jo and Billy Roy, and we crawled up under the kitchen table.

So, if someone were to have an event of flatulence, which has been known to happen around here:

Q: What was it like?
A: Well, me and Tammy Jack wuz sittin' watching wrasslin' after a supper of canned chili and then the Tammy Jack started to fret a little and then we heared it. It sounded jus like a freight train a-comin'. We grabbed up the babies, Tammy Jo and Billy Roy, and we crawled up under the kitchen table.

Now I've heared tell, by a woman who, if she were still living would surely be well over a hundred years old today, that the tornado that hit their place, way back when, sount like a tractor.

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

I kinda like the way it sounds right now. I don't know of any other sound that can make a whole room full of 7-11 year old boys laugh.

I agree that the bowling sound would be hilarious.

I used to have a freight train wav file on my PC at work. When it would be slow and boring I would wait for people to come onto the lot or walk by and I would blast it over the dealership's P.A. speakers. People would always look around all puzzled because there isn't a train right here. It sounded very realistic and it was very loud. I also had various animal sounds that I would blast on Friday afternoons when it died down. The chimp was everyone's favorite.

If we had not been so limited in the number of options in the poll....sigh.
I had a few more down and had to delete them. The sound of a cucoo clock stricking, the sound of a 12 gauge shotgun going off, church bells, doorbells, bicycle horns, cows mooing.............I thought I had the world at my feet. And now this. Truely this IS the summer of our discontent.......
My opinion is stupid and wrong.
