Farts!
Long story.
Today in that thread about age, TH brought up farts. Yep. Farts. It was most certainly not on topic, and he was even wearing a tuxedo at the time, but alas he was talking about farts. I suspect that Tony put him up to it, but we will never know for sure because all men love to talk about farts and laugh about farts. All of them.
We just returned from a family vacation. Mr. Boomer and my sister's husband one evening steered the conversation to their joyous memories of the farting they did when they were on a trip a few years ago with a couple of other guys. What do they remember about their trip? The farting of course.
One time I asked Mr. Boomer to pick up a birthday card for said brother-in-law. I should have known to get it myself because Mr. B. found a card about elephant farts. And my BIL liked it, of course. I would never give my sister a card about farts. I wonder if those musical cards that they have now have come up with one that just makes farting noises. Men would love it. Probably with the wonders of technology, they could even find a way to sing Happy Birthday in fart sounds. It would no doubt be a bestseller. (Sigh) --uh oh, maybe I had better patent that idea.
Well, when TH mentioned that word, I had just looked in and there I saw it. And once again I was inspired to give more thought to trying to get funding so that there can be a study to prove my theory that finding farts funny is attached to the Y chromosome somehow.
Like I said in the other thread, I just found out that a wonderful piece of pottery that I bought while on vacation is from a pottery studio that has a name that is a euphemism for farts.
Actually tonight I took a picture of my new pottery so I can show it to you. And I will show you the pottery mark, too. What planet do I live on anyway? I go out into the world. Go to a gallery. Find the perfect piece of pottery for my copper coffee table. And then find out that the potters' studio name is a euphemism for farts!
So anyway, I am working on the pictures. I do not know how to post them so it might be a couple of days before they show up here. I will put them in this thread. I still like the pottery. And I have given it a place of honor. I just bet a man named the pottery studio.
Dillywho stopped by the other thread and she is very interested in the study, too. I told her over there in that thread to meet me over here and I would bring her up to speed on this. And we can never get into trouble for going off topic in Girl Talk and we might have over there.
So now I am going to do something here that is probably against some kind of protocol or something, dragging threads around to put them in Girl Talk. I hope you will please forgive me if I am being tacky. And redundant. I think some of you might have seen this thread from last fall. Just ignore it if that is the case. But I told Dilly that I would meet her here and fill her in. This thread was fun and so here is the rerun. Lots of the girls agreed with me on this one.
The worlds shortest fairytale....
Oh how I dream of winning the Nobel Prize someday for proving that men are genetically coded somehow to think that farts are hilarious and make such a scintillating topic of conversation. I know that I, as a woman, most certainly never talk about farts.
