Retlaw's cork would take your eye out and Accyx's plum would make for an apalling scene if it backfired! :eek:

Blame Canada's equivalent of Sir Les Patterson ;)

Mea culpa, I'm proud to admit ... but I don't see where the juvenile comes in ... I have "Old Fart" on my cup???

Of course, as I often do, I owe a debt to George Carlin:D

Juvenile.......because young boys find bodily gases and lavatory stuff funny.

No you couldn't take an eye out there are no aiming sights........if you did take an eye out it would be pure luck.....crappy poor luck!
I agree about the plum though.....but it would be kinder to get in(having softer rounded edges......please don't ask me how I know about these things. An explanation would be sure to put you right off your nose bag)......but messier coming out!

Not only young boys ... Shakespeare uses lavatory funny stuff, in "Comedy of Errors" for example ... and it can be found as far back as Chaucer:

From Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales", The Miller's Tale, lines 698-707

And probably in earlier literatures ... and in the oral traditions of most cultures.

But many of the PC rules governing dress, food and recreation in schools are funny, if one finds "funny" in the ridiculous.

Re: Well I never?

I don't doubt that these kinds of humour go back in time.....but is a male thing......to find chaps setting fire to bum gas(why on earth anyone would think singed bum hairs are amusing beats me).....or having contests as to who can hold the longest bum note.....I have never heard of females doing such things.Maybe I have had a sheltered existence.

that only really happens if you do it naked.The clothes provide some protection although it is wise to remove the ignition source ie: lighter before you reach the trail end of a fart.

My ex shoulda lit her farts she thought she had intermitant swolen ankles until i pointed out it was because she was farting while wearing tights

Re: Well I never?

I remember working on a surgical ward and a young man was brought in with quite a roasted bottom.......he had done this by his friend lighting his bum gas.
He used to cry like a baby when we changed the gelonet dressings on his bottom.......all because they were acting the mick.

The problem of obesity is multifaceted and therefore a 'one size fits all approach' is never going to work.
Also it is wrong to be prescriptive about what parents should include in lunch boxes....it just alienates those who need help......and is counter productive.
It would be far better to give children education in the preparation of healthy food.......in my experience, children are always happy to eat something that they have made.

Just using your eyes and you will see that the figures can't be far wrong
