Professional Farting

My recent guest post on Mister Anchovy about Star Wars led, bizarrely, to a discussion about Lutefish and stinking shark meat. That, naturally -- and given my 14-year-old brain -- made me think of farting, or flatulence for the easily offended.

I was amazed to discover, in my inevitable Google search, an entry at Wikipedia on the Professional Farter. Wow, now here's something I learned about far too late in life. I could have been honing my skills from a much younger age. I can just imagine straining to achieve a B flat or an F major. I suppose chords are out of the question, unless you are in a choir of people with similar skills.

I have never known a Professional Farter, but I'd be happy to nominate a few individuals. I suppose I better not name names.

By the way, if you do a Google search for the phrase "professional farting," you get more that 550 results. Don't believe me? Try it yourself.

I promise never to make another farting post again.

  1. Saw your comment on my blog, and decided to check out yours.

    Awesome Blog.

    I don't know many professional farters either, but, we all know a couple of people who could qualify.

    Especially after a couple of beers.

  3. I'm going to nominate my boyfriend as a professional farter...only because he is so unlike the typical alpha-male and actually gets embarrassed and leaves the room when he has to, you know. But, I can STILL hear it...and it goes on for like TEN MINUTES.

    Thought I'd thoroughly repressed those memories of Le Petomane and Mr. Methane, but no.
