“Next Week … Tunes to Play on Your Bottom … fart your way to Social Success”
Believe it or not this HAS actually been done! In the late 19th century there was a French dude who became very famous as a live onstage act which went by the name ‘Le Petomane’ (translation: “The Farter”, or perhaps, “The Fart-maniac”). I remember during the 1960s seen a movie about this act, entitled, (of course!) “Le Petomane”, starring the wonderful British comedian, Leonard Rossiter. Apparently one of the things which made his act acceptable was the fact that ‘Le Petomane’ had a special diet which, so he said, rendered his farts odorless. Apparently he could perform quite a variety of musical numbers… (And not just ‘number two’!)
Incidentally, while we’re on the subject of farts, do you know where the phrase ‘Hoist by his own petard’ comes from? The word ‘petard’ means ‘little fart’ and this was the name of a medieval French explosive device which was designed to be attached to castle doors to blow them open. However, it was a very dangerous device and was known to occasionally explode prematurely… hence, “Hoist by his own petard”…
I’m just a veritable mine of useless information, huh? 😉
Cya later, piglets! 😀
