It's Friday, and what better way to spend the day that starts with F than talking about Flatulence?

Anyone who has accidentally let one rip in a social situation understands the immediate horror associated with getting caught passing gas. But instead of being ashamed when you fart in public, you should embrace your dirty deed with pride, as you may have just helped saved someone's life. Well, that's what a study currently getting some attention might suggest, but it's more complicated than that.

The study out of the University of Exeter in the UK found that the hydrogen sulfide gas found in rotten eggs and flatulence could reduce the risk of cancer, heart attack, strokes, arthritis, and dementia.

>> I’m a health care provider!

Well then, get your butt over here (STAT!) and fix the 3rd degree nasal burns that resulted when I read that witty little comment and spewed hot coffee out my nose.

When I was in high school in the late ‘60s, I got a one cylinder Honda motorcycle. I was suddenly everybody’s best friend (those who wanted a ride home from school to avoid riding the school bus).

One day I gave a ride to a friend who weighed about 185. I was barely 140. My friend thought it would be cute to lean the wrong way on turns. As an inexperienced driver, he made me turn wide and I barely missed the curb on the far side.

Thinking fast, I accelerated on the next straight section of road, stood up, then put my anal pore firmly in his face. I then made a glorious gaseous emission directly into his nostrils. He had nowhere to go, so he got a good dose. By this “study’ he should still be benefiting from the inoculation.

Was that a good movie?

[Jack Hydrazine]

What would Mr. Bean say about this?

[Jack Hydrazine]

How about striking a match and putting it out? Will that work, too?

[dangus]

LOL!

Good point! The article fails to mention FIREWORKS!

Was that a good movie?

Yes, it was. I laugh myself silly every time I see it.

I once had a run in with that kimchi stuff coming home from Korea. The night before I had drunk a lot and when I'm drunk I'll eat most anything. Everything on the KAL flight was great up tell the time we hit 36000 feet. I broke out in a happy tune of I left my heart in San Francisco. The crew came and reseated me in the very back of the 747 as the flight was only a third booked. When you can bring tears to the eyes of a Korean with a fart it a personal all time best.

Agree must be why he tells the country to eat shit.

Beans Beans, the musical fruit
The more that you eat, the more that you fart
The more that you fart, the better you feel
So eat lots of Beans with every meal!

This is a case where the cure is almost as bad as the disease.

[gasport]

A prep with kimchi/beer probably has toxic results.

[moovova]

No.

Just no.
