The last couple of posts were pretty serious, maybe even crossing the line into "deep." Just to let you all know that I haven't dropped into the pits of despair I offer this lightfarted, sorry, I mean lighthearted entry.
All about. . .
Gas.
Yes, everybody gets it, and I'm not talking about fuel for your automobile. I'm talking about the kind that clears rooms. Gas is the evidence that God has a sense of humor.
In my humble opinion, there's nothing funnier than bathroom humor. If you ever see a guy, off by himself, with a wide smile or even laughing for no apparent reason, you know he just farted. Seriously, watch sometime.
The online encyclopedia - Wikipedia -even has a lengthy entry on it, of course it's listed under the proper name - flatulence.
What else in life do we have so many names for? In my family we called it 'shooting bunnies'.
For further investigation, Wikipedia, offers a link to this site which handles the topic in a question & answer format. Dealing with, for example, such burning issues as:
- Is it harmful to hold in farts?
- At what time of day is a gentleman most likely to fart?
- How much gas does a normal person pass per day?
- Do turtles fart?
- Why do chicks always deny farting?
- Is it possible to capture a fart in a jar ((or perhaps a tennis ball can) and save it for later use?
Another section deals with post-release etiquette, I for one always say "
What?" as if someone has just asked me a question that I need repeated.
In northern England after farting, if one wants to be polite you should say, "
More tea, Vicar?"
In Scotland, it was overheard someone say, "Well, there's no point in having an arse if you can't let it rejoice in song!"
I feel better already. I'm sure Grandma's smiling down on me from heaven. Yep, real proud about this post. . .
"What?"
