First and foremost it is never completely wrong to fart. After all it’s a noise that smells. There are of course the extremist who insist that it is never ok to fart outside of a bathroom or that they don’t fart at all. To that side of the extremist I say to you, “Does the Pope shit in the woods?” The opposite extremists insist that farting is natural and that we should let them rip whenever the mood strikes us.

As with any situation involving extremists we must undertake the difficult task of finding common ground. There are certain societal norms that we have to live by. Hence we cannot rip ass whenever we want besides if we were all farting all the time some of the humor in them might be lost. On the other hand passing gas is natural and should not be hidden away especially due a farts potential hilarity.

What it all comes down to is the social situation you find your self in;

If you are with a bunch of college buddies, Fart away…On date, you may be rushing things in the relationship if you do but if he/she accepts it you know they’re are cool or kinda freaky… In church, probably a no no. As you can see it is really a judgment call that we as responsible citizens have to make on hour own. The key is to make the best attempt to not do it in confined areas such as an elevator or subway.

Of course sometimes things start rumbling and you don’t feel like waiting for a little release. The process here to let out a scout fart. Just a little release so as to test the waters. Let is creep around the area you are in to see if it stinks. If it does you know to clench up, if it doesn’t you can let a little more out.

Anyways I wanted to remind us all about the ongoing issues surrounding Farts. For your reference here is a list of different types of farts. And if that list intrigues you, here are a few more additions.

The debate on farts can go on and on but I think it can best be summed up in on of my favorite poems.

A fart can be quiet,
A fart can be loud,
Some leave a powerful,
Poisonous cloud.

A fart can be short,
Or a fart can be long,
Some farts have been known,
To sound just like a song.

Some farts do not smell,
While others are vile,
A fart may pass quickly,
Or linger awhile.

A fart can create
A most-curious medley,
A fart can be harmless,
Or silent, but deadly.

A fart can occur
In a number of places,
And leave everyone
With strange looks on their faces.

From wide-open prairies,
To small elevators,
A fart will find all of us
Sooner or later.

So be not afraid
Of the invisible gas,
For always remember,
That farts, too, shall pass.
