The Poot Pedal! This Poot's For You!

I want to take this blogging opportunity to acknowledge a great addition to all cars since the bright beam button moved to the steering wheel. And also note those creative engineers - whoever they may be – that came up with this GREAT, USEFUL element. Of course what I’m talking about is none other than the Poot Pedal! Okay, so I don’t know the developers name for this - and whether it may be German, Japanese, or even English - but I call it for what it is … The Poot Pedal!

Now, I’m sure that you know which ‘pedal’ that I’m referring to. It’s that solid pedal area that is located to the far left on the floorboard; next to the brake pedal. And no, it’s not the emergency brake pedal, since that is either located in the console or maybe a few inches above the floor. This is the pedal that usually has rubber on its top layer and its base is solid. Yep… the Poot Pedal!

Since driving such long distances to-and-from work on a daily basis, I have come to use that pedal quite often – especially after having either Mexican food, eating chicken, or even beans the nights before. And it’s become a REAL lifesaver in terms of my social life.

Never used the pedal before? Well, let me share the proper way.

When feeling the urge, securely place your left foot upon its top. Then slowly stretch out your left leg till it is extended fully – while at the same time raising up your body about a couple of inches (or high enough to fully release). This way you can let it rip discreetly (without being noticed by nosey, fellow drivers). Now poot! And for all of those who don’t know what ‘poot’ means - in other words, ‘flatulence’, ‘breaking wind’, ‘cutting the cheese’ or ‘passing gas’.  Poot!

See? The Poot Pedal! And if done correctly – and often enough – both you and those you might be meeting shortly thereafter will truly be appreciative.

What a great innovation from those fine folks who designed our vehicles! What creativity and useful ingenuity!

So in closing, I just wanted to send some kudos as well as give praise for this item that is probably overlooked on a regular basis.

And the next time I have the urge to use the Poot Pedal – but before releasing - I will make sure to proudly proclaim to those unsung developers, ‘Hey guys! This Poot’s for you!’

However let me warn you - careful on the amount of pressure you wish to use when using the Poot Pedal. For if you push on the ‘pedal’ too powerfully, you might have another matter to deal with!
