You know who farts? Everyone! Damn near everything that eats passes gas. Even goldfish fart. You know who laughs at farts? Damn near everyone.
Why?
Who the hell knows.
Farting is a perfectly natural function. Why is it impolite? Why is it humorous? Why is it acceptable for men to fart, but not women? And why is there a stigma about being fat and having a lot of bad flatulence?
Maybe the last is medical. Or maybe it's just a comedic tool; a cliche at this point.
All I know is: farting has become a funny, impolite taboo. It's a ridiculous, nonsensical standard we, as a society have, to expect each other to not fart "in polite company."
Now, I'm not saying to just let it rip all the time, every time, and everywhere. Don't stink out your family or co-workers. But, I think flatulence shouldn't be such a big deal. We, as living beings, have more important things to worry about than holding back our gas.
Maybe, if we all learned to be discerning in our passing of gas, we'd all become more discerning about every issue in our lives. And, maybe, if we all learned to be more accepting of flatulence, we'd be less sensitive to other issues. It would be a "gate-way" issue.
Or, maybe not.
Either way, stop being a Fucktard about farting.
