How funny is that? After I stitched my sides back together I got to thinking…You know how enjoyable it is when you let one go in the bath (do you? or is it just me?), whales must experience a thousand times this pleasure…Now I have two reasons to envy them.
I was just wondering what a big whale fart from way down deep would be like. Due to the tremendous pressure down deep, wouldn’t contents of the bubbles of whale farts be incredibly dense? Methinks that would be way lethal.
Maybe this is how the Titanic sank.
First Mate: Sir! There are icebergs over there! What is that strange rippling in the water up, portside?
Captain: (looking through binoculars) I’ll be damned…I heard about this from many a’captain I’ve sailed under and always took it for some fanciful yarn.
First Mate: What is it, Captain?
Captain: ( looking very glum) The worst kind of death there is…Whale Farts.
First class passenger on the lower deck: Eweeeee! What’s that smell?
Can’t…stop…laughnig… GASP
You’re not alone in your enjoyment of bath-flatulence by the way, WILLASS.
[Eddie Murphy] You can smell’em! [/Eddie Murphy]
Bath tub flatulence: the poor man’s jacuzzi.
Hey! I want the audio tape!
So, could a whale fart cause a sufficient decrease in water density to sink a small vessel, in the way that a subsurface volcanic gas release can sink a larger ship?
Pull my flipper.
The minke whale can hold its breath for over five minutes. (http://www.gmwsrs.org/whales.htm) Coincidence? I think not.
Cool! Now I can blame the invisible whale!
Okay, who cut the krill?
You bastards, all of you! I just shot Dr. Pepper out my nose!
For this article to be released on Gary Larson’s birthday is just too perfect, considering he drew a cartoon on this very subject. (Though it never got published, for being too “scatalogical”. It was included in his “PreHistory of the Far Side” book.)
[sub]No, I didn’t know it was his birthday yesterday until I started looking online for that cartoon. Can’t find it.[/sub]
He who smelt it, dealt it.
By the way, female whales don’t fart. They demurely break water.
Who do the whales blame when they break wind . .er, ah water? They don’t know what dogs are, do they?
What’s invisible and smells like plankton?
I would like to know how they collect whale dung. A jumbo size pooper scooper?
