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.
