Farted in Pipeline Meeting - Advice needed immediately

It was horrible. Smelled like someone killed a fat skunk with an egg stick. The two MDs in the room gave me the most evil stare I've ever seen...even worse than when I royally screwed up on a deal. Any help on what I should do to apologize? Thank goodness a couple analysts were there to laugh. For the record, I tried my best to hold it in, but it was either fart or accidentally shit myself.

honestly this was the worst move you could have done. you should have apologized in person to your direct boss instead of this (or, better yet, just not done anything and bust your ass from now on). you just drew way too much attention to it. i guarantee that shit got fwded.

 

This is the kind of shit that made me want to work in this industry.

Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: "To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods."
 

Just look at them with a straight face and say "that's disgusting". Try to act like it was your interviewer that farted even if you were the only other person in the room.
