I’m a sucker for a fart joke
Seven of the Greatest Farts in Western Literature
A mildly amusing romp from a woman who spent her twenties writing Serious Literary Papers. I mostly enjoyed the exploration of euphemisms. Rump trumpet. Butt horn. Ass cornet. Bum bugle. Booty kazoo.
I also appreciated this snippit of Chaucer:
This Nicholas just then let fly a fart
As loud as it had been a thunder-clap,
And well-nigh blinded Absalom, poor chap.
There, I have stolen the beating heart of her essay. Mostly, I just wanted an excuse to post this picture. That goat thing looks so guilty.
Uncle B will tell you, I’m helpless before a fart joke.

Looking at the above spam from “Emmalee Bass” makes me think we should add Baru-baru to our catalog of fart euphemisms. Plus maybe nggak and lulus.

You have, I hope, read Twain’s “1601”.

@stoaty:
When it comes to farts and fart jokes, I recommend to you “The Unexpurgated Code”, by JP Donleavy (if you can find it).
The section on “Vilenesses Various” will entertain you greatly. The rest of the book might, as well.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
