The timeless humour of the fart

My nephew said to me last week when I went to visit (he's 15)

AUNT Nine, if you have a fart brewing, can you tell me ... hold on to it will you please?

What now? thinks me.... and I just didn't have any to offer ...

An hour or so later after dinner, my niece Jess exclaims ... "I've got one!!" ....

She excitedly gets down on the floor, lifts her legs and Kaelan my nephew falls over himself to procure a match and ignite it. A bit of debate ensues over where the precise piont of the fart will be .... 'right here' ... they agree.

Jessie lets it rip.

Nothing.

Buggar, he missed!

15 minutes go by, his Mum brews one up, and announces it to the room.

She gets down on the floor in the ensuing flurry of excitement and anticipation.

On her back, legs in the air, Kaelan poised with a lit match, at the precise point of fart exit ...

BINGO!! FLAMING beauty! (and my sister got a singed pair of trousers!).

True story..
