This will make my 6 year old's day, which is saying something as he spent his morning before camp watching Truckasaurus videos.

"May the wind at your back be more than just your own" or "not be your own" or similar.

I got that fart touch after I ate at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

Watched it the whole way through hoping that actual farts would be used as rhythmic elements at some point. Was disappointed.

Apparently, the original Mr. Fart Touch drove around in Cincinnati.

This was one of the most requested records on the Dr. Demento show in the 1970s, though because of its 15-minute length, he couldn't include in his Funny Five segment (but he played it once a month right before the Funny Five). As far as I'm concerned, this was the apex of Fart Humor and everything since went downhill... or into the crapper.

It is universally well known, That in digesting our common Food, there is created or produced in the Bowels of human Creatures, a great Quantity of Wind. That the permitting this Air to escape and mix with the Atmosphere, is usually offensive to the Company, from the fetid Smell that accompanies it. That all well-bred People therefore, to avoid giving such Offence, forcibly restrain the Efforts of Nature to discharge that Wind.

The quest to determine the accuracy of my aforementioned hypothesis has now resulted in many a google search such as "the history of flatulence humor in China".
Something tells me my quest may be a bunch of hot air. I have discovered that supposedly there was a Sumerian quote "Something that has never occurred since time immemorial, a wife did not fart in her husbands lap". And Japanese fart scrolls.
Given the inordinate number of beans that have in this place been dissected, I believe an appreciation of this particular property provided by the magical fruit should be in order.
Farts. They unite us.
Please- feel free to magical fruit plate this topic further.
