"I think it’s always the same... fart... Every time... while I was talking to a friend.... we just get interrupted by this fart that leaves us silent and staring. He plays it as he passes and never looks back, acts like nothing happened. Guy is white, college age, very straight-laced looking."
From "There’s a ‘serial farter’ on the loose in the West Village" (Page Six).
More and more the news makes me think about Harpo Marx...
Just yesterday, writing about the Manafort trial, I came very close to adding this:

serial farter isn't mine but cereal farter™ is...
Who says "thrice"? Maybe the serial farter stalks pretension?
Amazon carries whoopie cushions. Use the Althouse portal.
I should trademark my initials so everyone who doesn't register their trademark has to pay me.
Farts happen in threes.
Part of me thinks that anyone who uses the term "thrice" derserves to be farted on. But then I remember that I've casually used some words that some people may find pretentious.
First time is happenstance;
Second time is coincidence; and
Thrice is enemy action.
W.C. Fields had a line in 'The Bank Dick" - upon being introduced to his daughter's boyfriend he remarked "Ogg Oggilby? Sounds like a bubble in a bathtub."

Is this what Trump does at his rallies?
And the leftists are always left staring.
Leslie Nielsen was notorious for doing this during interviews, in elevators, wherever. You could look it up.
He had a portable fart-machine

When you team it with twice it makes sense.
Once, twice, thrice …. see?
Shouldn't this have the "that's not funny" tag?
Never trust a fart in India.
Try farting on black people and see what happens! That experiment has been done.

I have a new Bantu girlfriend. Tell me what you mean.
Back when I worked at General Dynamics there was a man who had two awful habits. One of them was that he would get up and go into the other cubicles in our department and silently pass gass and then leave. At first we all throught that it was unintentional and he was just a gassy person. But his cube mate informed us that he did not pass gass in his own cubicle.
I am your farter. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

How often do you hear "twice" used in a thee-part list? I can think of 1 instance:
"She's once, twice, three times a lady."
"Legendary journalist Christiane Amanpour walks into the room trailed by the most impressive of clouds: a cumulonimbus of fortitude, pierced by solar flares of her signature erudition."
That sounds worse than the serial farter!
"Who says "thrice"? "
He who says "thrice," dealt it.
I mean...
He who says "thrice," is the possessor of the vice.
"straight-laced"
The term is "strait-laced."
The term is "strait-laced."
Dire straights: particularly large and ferocious heterosexuals, mainly Trump supports. see dire wolves
Trump supporters... damn, I ruined my own joke.
@sodal ye - I don’t know that a similar result is obtained with Africans. Google “farting in the hood pranks”. It’s a popular category.
Does "strait-laced" have anything to do with corsets and how they're trussed?
I don't usually hear the word "thrice" more than two times every fortnight.
"Trump supports"
Now Chuck will come along and try to tell us that Trump is wearing a corset to make himself look thinner.
straight-laced
adjective
strait-laced.

He's probably making a YouTube video.

Yikes.
You know, the thing that started happening in India, and now in Africa, talking about farts, is the near absence of a woman's visible butt hole, it just tucks away discreetly, like an afterthought, with no tonal difference. Very nice.

How many of you think Chuck is a serial farter?
Raise your hands.
How many of you think Chuck is a serial farter?
Pull his finger.
Big deal. There's a ton of serial crappers on the streets of San Francisco.
Unce....tice...fee tines...a mayday!
Of course there are serial farters and crappers. Unless you have two assholes, you have to do them one at a time. A guy with two assholes would probably be a big hit in prison.
Q:'Did you just fart?"
A: No-- I pooped also!"
Dammit, Ann!!
See- this is what I mean-- you let a perfectly good thread on farting get all crapped up. Why do I even bother posting here.
Is this the thread where I can report that I saw a “wet bottom pie” for sale in Shartlesville, PA?
