And while I won’t provide details (you’re welcome), I will say that while kid has a imagination, he did have a point. \*\* If he had a point, it wouldn’t look like a hammerhead shark, would it? Sleep deprivation. Makes everything funny. Do you know why the end of poop is tapered? So your ass doesn’t slam shut. And **lieu** , I still think you should have a newsletter or mailing list to announce new threads. _The Flatulent Flyer_, or something. ---

OH. MY. GOD. **Wikkit** , that’s what my dad used to say. Except he said that it was tapered so your ass didn’t _clap_ shut (which he had to demonstrate by clapping his hands, of course). How funny. And Flatulant Flyer is an EXCELLENT name. ---

My son was probably, oh, about one-and-a-half. He was sitting on the couch between my mother and I. (He called her Bama.) We were all watching TV. I tried to sneak one off. Apparently it wasn’t sneaky enough because a couple of seconds later, he turned to her with wide-eyed innocence and asked, “Bama fart?” She got all flustered when I started laughing and pointing at her. ---

Jesus, **lieu**. I have to remember to look for your threads whenever I’ve had a bad day. I had a crappy day (heh!) and this just made it all fade away. Thanks! 😃 😃 😃 ---

Holeeee crap. I am so lucky there are no actual people in the library this time of night, or they would be wondering what the crazy book-check girl is doing almost falling out of her chair in an effort to suppress insane giggles. Fabulous, fabulous. Thank you. ---

Heh, it serves you phuckers right. Y’all are always making me fight ballistic against worktime giggles. Fair’s fair. And jeez **Rysdad** , that simply busted me up! ---

Heh, I hadn’t thought about that. I’d meant the coffee but it does work pretty well the other way too. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ever-knock-a-baby-down-with-a-fart/148755.md?page=1)
