I'm wondering if anyone has found a polite way to burp your bag? I found myself at a Christian music concert with my bag tight enough to pop. I figure the lady beside me was wondering why the bulge under my shirt kept getting bigger. Anyway, I felt terrible having to burp my overinflated bag in a public restroom, I almost felt like I should pray for the poor victims of my gastro-deflation. Unless someone has invented a way to make gas disappear upon release, I can see no polite way to burp a bag in a public restroom.
