It's not so much the satisfaction of a roaring belch that makes me happy, it's the smell.

No really, think about it for a moment.

Why is the belch considered an offensive thing? Is it because of the attendant offensive smell? The tiny flecks of flying saliva which perchance could rain down upon guests, family, friends, law enforcement officials?

I disagree.

I think it's because people don't like people to be happy. And I've gotta say, there ain't much that makes me happier than the gut rumbling feeling of a large volume of trapped gas escaping from the stomach via the esophageal tract, crossing lightly the vocal folds, and escaping with a tremendous roar.

Therefore, I leave you all with my warmest regards, expressed in the method which I think best suits both my introductory post and the best means at my disposal for expressing appreciation for your dutiful attendance.

*BURP*

Mmmm... tasty...
