Why old farts shouldn't use technology

From my friend, via email. I’ll let the email speak for itself:

Just to be clear, this is not something that actually happened to your friend. :wink:

Let the record state the the email has been floating around in the interwebs for many years, TokyoBayer somehow managed to miss it in all that time.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard that story. It pops up on fmylife.com about once a month.

I’m wondering if it’s a true story. Can someone really fart throughout several whole songs? :stuck_out_tongue:

Damn. He’s a fairly new friend, and I wasn’t expecting him to be passing along jokes as his own. :smack:

I’d guess you could either fart a few times during a few songs OR loud enough that everyone was staring at you, but unless you were in that “OMG I need to find a bathroom right now” stage, probably not both.

I’m pretty sure it’s just a joke and nothing more.

Doing a google search for the joke, I can find it going back as far as 2010 with the word iPod, but I’m pretty sure I heard it going back much further then that but with ‘headphones’ instead of ipod.

Duke, ya dumb dog! Get out from under that chair before he craps on you!

Similar things have also cropped up on LearnFromMyFail:

So the idea’s not new.

Finally, a good reason to get an iPod.

I can’t be sure, but if the song is spit-rap, a dollar says it can’t be done & leave dry shorts.

It would have been believable if the story said the man timed his fart while the music was loud.

One fart is believable. Multiple farts = joke material.

I’ve stealth farted before in noisy restaurants or bars. You just have to wait for a loud moment. Thankfully, I never wear earbuds or headphones.

I asked my girlfriend for the newspaper. She just looked me funny and asked me to use her iPad.

The spider never knew what hit it.
