in which he proposed ways by which flatulence could be made more aromatically pleasant. He submitted this to the Royal Science Academy for consideration for a contest.

If Mr Franklin, in the midst of the American Revolution, at the Court of our staunchest ally, could indulge in idle reflection on the nature and beneficial uses of hind wind, I think the American people can have a laugh at "one that got away" without losing sight of the dire crimes before us.

We're all deeply stressed here and we're in no way demonstrative of the US voters. We're the too involved from the beginning, 1,000 yard stare, hardcore Democrats. Allow us some fart humor, ok? We've earned it.

It's been truly painful these past three years. We need release valves (pun not intended, but... 🤣 so we don't lose it entirely. I completely understand some silly shared laughter in these times.

We need a humor break, and farting is funny. And most of us can entertain more than one thought at a time.

We can laugh at a Congressman farting on live TV and still care about Trump's crimes. Not all of us are mono-issued.
