Why Do People Read Fart Jokes?
People like to read fart jokes. I'm not quite sure why. Perhaps it's because flatulating (which is the proper term for farting) is a part of everyday life. What the heck is flatulence anyway? Flatulence is the presence of a mixture of gases in the digestive tract known as flatus. When it's expelled from the rectum, it's also called flatulence.
Farts contain many components, with nitrogen as the primary gas. Other gases can include oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen. Both methane and hydrogen are flammable, and so farts can be ignited. Most farts stink because the gas contains butyric acid (rancid butter smell), hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide. Fart odor can also be caused by the presence of bacteria or feces in the rectum. When a fart contains more than just gas, it's called a "shart", which is a slang combination word for feces and flatulence.
Fart noise is caused by the vibration of the anal sphincter. The pitch and the strengh of the sound varies depending on the tightness of the sphincter and the speed of the fart. Farts are usually accidental, and can be caused when sneezing, coughing or even burping. Some people enjoy farting, and a fart can be forced out. The only problem with doing that, is that a "shart" instead of a fart can be the result.
I receive hundreds of jokes by email every month, but I rarely receive fart jokes. Of the ones I do receive, very few are worth repeating. As this website progresses, I intend to put the best of what I've received out there for others to read and enjoy. I'll only publish the jokes that made me smile, chuckle, or laugh out loud. Not everything that others think is funny is actually funny. Cute maybe, but not funny.
I hope you enjoy the jokes I've selected as much as I did when I read them, or when they were told to me in person.
