Farts

3 Conversations

A fart happens when gas escapes from between the buttocks. Farts often create a foul odor. If the escape of gas is violent enough to cause the buttocks to flap together, a sound will also be produced. Thus, the two physically identifiable components of a fart are the sound and the odor. A fart however, can occur with only one of these components being present. When a fart occurs with an odor, but no sound, it is referred to as "silent but deadly". A fart which produces sound, but no odor is referred to as "rare".



As you have probably already concluded from the above description, farts are funny! Adolescent males find particular humor in the act, and frequently make audio recordings of their best farts. It is however, unfortunate that not everyone finds farts amusing. It is for this reason that it is sometimes necessary to blame the dog. There is nothing funny about a dog fart.



Farts are so prevalent that many great works have been dedicated to the act.



Here is an example:



"Beans, beans, the musical fruit.
The more you eat, the more you toot.
The more you toot, the better you feel.
So eat beans with every meal."
