HUMANITY'S OLDEST SOURCE OF HUMOR . . .

Brilliant ! ! !

Truly the oldest source of humor comes from prostitutes telling those fart jokes.

Professionally speaking . . .

MattDavis told me to convey this question to you guys for discussion -"Are farts universally funny?" - because he's in rectal uproar at the moment. Unfortunately, he's a vegan.

He's a vegan? You mean he lets killer farts like Spock?

I am delighted that farts are an old and dependable source of humor...mostly because I have a gas problem that simply cannot be cured and I fart a lot. Nice to know that the embarrassment I feel when one cracks out at an inopportune time...may be adding to the humor quotient in lives around me.

A secondary reason for being delighted, though, has to do with another constant source of humor...which has more serious consequences than farts.

For some reason, people seem to think that one of the funniest things in the world is seeing some guy get clocked in the nuts. It seems as though everyone thinks that to be the height of humor. Watch an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos ...a program I have come to loathe...and you will see a half dozen instances of guys getting their balls worked over by punches, thrown objects, or by accidents that have a guy painfully straddling a bicycle or hand-railing or something.

Farts stink; getting pounded in the nuts hurts. I vote or farts.

I seen this on tv last night, it takes all sorts....



Rumour has it, he turned gay after that.

This was on the same show, man I laughed so much at this and he's a ringer for my favourite Irish Politician.... drink eh!.

of course, no fart thread would be complete without...

It's good to see you've found a place where you're comfortable, Set.

I think this one got the tele-evangelist allll upset.

But it is hilarious.

I think farts are proof of duality.

I shamelessly stole this from the "really bad jokes" thread but it's worth repeating here:

Question: Why do farts smell?

Answer: It's an aid for the hearing-impaired.

And I think farts should come without lumps. But that is not always the case!

Do you think the Hippo was telling them something?.

Everybody's Mother in Law.

My dear gentlemen and non-ladies,
In my research surrounding the female of the species of human, there have been an acclaimed assertion that passing of the wind is not possible because the cavity just below the philtrum does not close long enough for any difference in pressure to build up towards the anal oriface. For the purpose of answering this enquiry and to provide the male of the species infinite satisfaction, I have conducted empirical experiments. And it is with great satisfaction that I report to you all that if the female of the species closes long enough the immediate cavity below the philtrum, and follows a proper vegan diet to build up vast mass of putrid roughage matter contained in the intestinal places, the hypothesis is correct, and the female does pass wind.
Permit me then humbly to propose my evidence.
