No. Those are the accidental ones. I’m talking about the guys who slightly raise one leg, angle their butt, and scrunch up their faces as they strain to crank out an extra loud stinker. Then, in the most insincere of voices proclaim, “I couldn’t help it, it’s a natural body function!”
Those guys deserve some sort of punishment. A cold, disgusted stare doesn’t do it. They thrive on that.
Ah, but you’ve missed the point. The body movement, the facial expression, the tone, and duration is all part of The Art of the Fart. A true professor of flatulence has a varied repertoire, including a high pitched trouser oboe tone, the sharp ‘tearing canvas’ delivery, as well as the ever-amusing ‘dog-growling-under-the-couch’ rumble.
Afford them the respect they so richly deserve-they got game!
Could we get ‘Pull my Finger’ accepted as an Olympic event?

I have no control over my farts about 50 percent of the time. They just come out of their own volition. Would that make me eligible for arrest? I certainly hope not! But yeah, those people who screw their faces up and angle it towards you, yeah, those people oughta serve the time… Let’s all line them up and “fire” at 'em!
What’s all this about lighting a match? While it may be de riguer for drunken fraternity brothers at 3AM to take turns actually igniting their flatulence, how does a small flame in the vicinity of an already-loosed fart help?
I can’t wait until a lawyer, in full open court, posits the “he who smelt it dealt it” gambit to foil the prosecuting attorney’s “he who denied it supplied it” defense.
