National Fart Day - February 5th

Every schoolboy will tell you that farts are flammable. The methane and hydrogen in bacteria-produced farts makes human gas highly flammable. This is why some people think it's a fun party trick to hold a lighter up to their backside and let one fly and in doing so, produce a big burst of flame.

In my early teens, out camping with a group of friends, I explained this concept to a sceptical audience. To prove the point I did the fart flame experiment. Cue schoolboys rolling around in fits of laughter.

Later that evening as we were all getting into our sleeping bags, a lot of hollering and shouting came from one of the tents. The two boys inside, still amused by the fart flame thrower had decided to try it themselves. Not sure if the pressure was too high or the gas a tad strong, they managed to set their tent on fire. Thankfully the damage was only slight, but the laughter just went on and on, especially when one lad asked: "Did you p*ss on it to put it out?"

I heard a doctor on TV say, "Men & women both fart at least 20 times per day. Most of them are not noticed.

A posh old aunt of mine, when I was about 10, used to chastize me for using the word 'fart'.
"No Timothy, we do not use that word, we say 'trump', do you understand, 'trump'?"
She used to terrify me with threats of washing my mouth out with soap and a scrubbing brush, but here I am, all these years later, with a very well worked 'trumpet' that I fart through. 😊

When I read of such amusing but trivial snippets like that it makes me wonder who collects that information, and how do they do it. Is there a remote fartometer or something?

On Dr. Oz's silly show many years ago, he had a couple volunteer to wear "Special Underwear" for 24 hours that collected & measured the gas they both produced. The underwear was very thick & had a computer in it. The couple had to stay home.
Well, ya know......whatever helped the ratings.........
