In the new movie “Knocked Up,” a group of roommates claimed they gave each other pink eye by farting on each other’s pillows. They also specified that the farting involved direct anus to pillow contact.

Now that the medical definition is out there the answer should be mud in your eye. Well, perhaps bacteria or a virus, both of which that could be expelled in a fart.
I won’t get into the odds on this, but my guess is that any activity involving some third object (a pillow, your thumb, whatever…) that facilitates the transmission of bacteria from one’s anus to one’s eyeball carries a pretty reasonable risk of pinkeye.

Considering those guys weren’t the neatest pins in the pincushion, and they, um, passed things around quite a bit, it wouldn’t hard for the virus to spread by hand. According to advice from docs, it’s terribly easy to spread and I was even told to stay home from work to avoid spreading it.
