Fart Dictionary Introduction
January 20, 2011
My book, The Fart Dictionary, is slated for release September 2011 by Running Press. Big thanks to my editor for eyeing my oddball humor. The following is an introduction to the book…
Everybody farts, even movie stars. Did you know Jennifer Anniston owns a Fart Machine? True story. Imagine (back in the day) Jen and Brad sitting around a gigantic fireplace in their humongous Beverly Hills mansion…farting at one another? Benjamin Franklin even wrote a book titled “Fart Proudly”. Wasn’t he a fore founding father of our country? And he had time to take out of his busy political career to write a fart book? Makes you think, huh? I guess he was a fore-founding-fart-father of the great U.S. of A. They should change the seventh grade history books. Not to mention the tabloid headlines.
We’ve all experienced the same old fart jokes, antics and social discomforts. But we’ve limited ourselves by hiding it. It’s a human trait we all have in common. Farting. So, readers, I challenge you. The next time you fart, or bear witness a fart, take note of your surroundings, purpose, or social inconvenience. Label it, as I’ve done in The Fart Dictionary. From A to Z, there’s something for everyone. Embrace your farts (not figuratively) and make it a laughable event. And remember, everybody farts. Except Zoey Deschanel, there’s just no way.
“…and but a few stems of asparagus may define our impressionable public character…”
- Benjamin Franklin
