    Farts are universally funny. Like sex jokes, they transcend time and language.

    In fact, the oldest joke we have discovered was a fart joke:

    Something which has never occurred since time immemorial… A young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.

    Compare that to a different joke from about 200 years later:

    A dog entered into a tavern and said, 'I cannot see anything. I shall open this one

    It doesn’t matter where or when you’re from, nor does it matter what language you speak, farts are funny and will continue to be funny forever.

    If I find your farts funny then I’m scaling the current level of joy per fart. We can have an import / export scheme. My gross domestic product is outrageous.

      Are you suggesting something like the tin cans with a string in the middle, but replacing the string with a hose. We’re gonna need some government subsidies on our farts because eventually one of us is going to overproduce and kill the other in a horrific explosion.

    I always blame mine on the cat.

      I blame mine on the hamsters.

      I had to gradually buy about 95 to make it seem plausible but I got there in the end.

        The great thing that 95 hamsters and farting so much that you need 95 hamsters have in common is that visitors already know exactly what they’re in for based on the smell.

          I actually only needed the volumetric farts of about 15 hamsters.

          However, I thought it’s not realistic to have them all fart at the same time, so I kept buying more.

          Eventually it was a big enough group that it seemed more statistically plausible that 15 of them farted in unison.

          I feed them beer and cheese and beans to increase the hypothetical flatulence interval of each hamster.

          Also I have found, adding “I don’t know, maybe something startled them and some of them… Went off” helps. I could buy a few more hamsters instead, but times are hard.

    Same logic applies to murder.

    I think that people that don’t find farts funny are fakers or have brain damage. It’s pretty much a reflex to trigger the funny center of the brain.

      I think it depends greatly on what part of the fart they’re enjoying and why. Someone laughing at a nicely audible, clean rip is very different than someone chuckling at overhearing a wet one.

        Both are funny to me. I didn’t know there’s comedic range to poop-air.

          I think for wet facts the comedy is inversely proportional to the distance from you.

      I’m the rather fart in a toilet than shit in your pants sort. It’s mostly me finding it pretty fucked to make people smell your shit fumes.
