Are farts funny in every culture?
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?

Try farting casually and loudly on a bus.
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.I don't think you are guaranteed a laugh in all situations.
- 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?
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.<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.

Re: Are farts funny in every culture?
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.

I just farted.
Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!
In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

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

Re: Are farts funny in every culture?
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.

Re: Are farts funny in every culture?
I really don't get the funny. It's tasteless.

Re: Are farts funny in every culture?
Farts are funny as long as you can hear them before you smell them*. And only among men.

I think this thread has blown itself out.
