Why are farts funny?
I just want to know.

The smell, not so much. Jul 08 14 01:35 pm Link Good Egg Productions wrote: Just be more careful to only smell clown farts. Jul 08 14 01:41 pm Link Farts are kind of funny. When you're 8 years old.

Jul 08 14 03:56 pm Link I don't think they're funny, never have and likely never will. Even as a child I didn't think they were funny. To be honest, I find it really annoying when someone does think it's funny. If you have to fart, you have to fart. I'd rather not hear it and I certainly don't want to smell it. I met a guy once who farted at least 100 times a day (seemingly) and would make a show of it every time (bend over, lift one leg, etc). He'd crack up laughing each time, too. He was one of the most annoying people I ever met. Jul 10 14 12:55 am Link PFFFFFF oh please. All these people who don't think fart jokes are funny. I do agree, they're probably shouldn't be anything funny about them. It's not like a standard joke, it's not a joke I guess, nothing profound or clever......but they're still funny. Why is the question though, and I don't really know.  But because of that sort of ambiguity, when someone CAN pull off a good fart joke, (because many can be lame) it always makes me laugh.

Jul 10 14 09:57 am Link There's nothing funny about inhaling a cloud of minute particles of another person's shit. Not unless sticking your head in a sewer leaves you in stitches.

I actually plan to send a unicorn against the party in my Pathfinder game soon. I really liked the Earthdawn unicorns: carnivorous beasts that hunt and kill people for the sport of causing them pain. Since my current Pathfinder game is heavily inspired by Earthdawn, the unicorn will have a dual breath/fart weapon that sends a 60' cone of various energy types out both ends. Prismatic spray should probably be one option, just for the effect.

The nose has to have direct contact with something material, and that material is faeces, just in very fine particles. Still shit though. Jul 11 14 02:52 pm Link It's because it is the most irreverent expression one can do. My friends and I used to do them as loudly as possible, during class in the 8th grade ! The laughter that followed is what got us sent to the office. I remember saying to one of my classmates, in the beginning of the school year, that this was going to be a long year. -Don Jul 11 14 02:58 pm Link Tim Griffiths wrote: Good Egg Productions wrote: Caradoc wrote: Tim Griffiths wrote: Unless they're naked when they fart, not likely.

Farts are a mixture of methane, and hydrogen, (they burn spectacularly). They smell because of the rotting of food - NOT because of shit.

Jul 11 14 03:46 pm Link Jul 11 14 05:16 pm Link In The Miller's Tale, one of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Chaucer describes Absolon as being "...squeamish of farting." (My rough translation from Middle English.) In addition, Absolon "perfumes his breath." Oh my. Chaucer is, of course, a Master, and that's why we--okay a few--still read the Canterbury Tales. What Chaucer is doing is using a few brief words to characterize one of his cast. Absolon is a twit. Not at all certain farts are funny. Humans are animals. Farts happen. Onward and upward.
