I always kind of thoughts farts would be funny in just about every culture in a personal and casual setting.

I can picture Osama Bin Laden and Mohammed Atta and the rest of the AQ bunch sitting in a cave and plotting 9/11:


Atta: "So once we are in the air, we shall pull out our boxcutters and hastily head for..."

Bin Laden: braaapppppp

*Silence in Cave*

AL Qaeda together: hahahahahahahaha


Would anybody disagree?

Probably anytime when drinking is involved.

Try farting casually and loudly on a bus. :laugh4:

In other words, no, I don't really think they are funny...

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind...



I think it is situational as to the humour of it.
Was it accidental or leg-lift-arm-pump fired?
How close are you to the source?
Who is the "audience"? By that I mean age and sex.
What is the surrounding/situation...class...church...bus ride home from a long day of work?
What is the sound quality? Silent (smell only), pop, squeaker, or rip?
I don't think you are guaranteed a laugh in all situations.

Unfortunately, the in-depth analytical nature of these questions might lead one to believe I actually studied this. I haven't, but I'm certain I'd get a passing grade. :drummer: <rimshot>

I'm just suggesting that in the appropriate setting, people of all cultures would offer a snicker or chuckle at a well-timed rip.

So, Div, you think, humour-wise, fart are flatulent in all languages and cultures? Perhaps an analysis or worldwide sales of whoopie cushions might help verify your viewpoint.

Yeah, I can just picture Cheney in a cabinet meeting asking G. Dubya to pull his finger, and George falls for it, again.

Flatulence humor as a cultural bridge...hey why not we gotta start somewhere.

Depends .. I guess.

To me public farting is ALWAYS funny and I usually laugh out loud.

To my wife however, farting is childish and frowned upon. She gives me those icy looks when a situation occurs where fatulence is involved, even if I was not the originator.
It's like she dares me to laugh. :brood:

Farts are funny as long as you can hear them before you smell them*. And only among men.

wich is a shame, because most of mine are "silent and deadly"
