Hi Amy,
Is that pun of your own composition? Very Happy

No, Pamela, I found it on the internet. It tickled my fancy and seemed to be insisting on being shared. Laughing

Thanks, Pamela Smile ! I get the pun now!

Good pun, Amy!

PS:
'Pun' in Spanish means 'fart' (pardon my French) Embarassed . If this is Greek to you, a fart is an escape of wind from the anus, especially if audible. Sorry, I couldn't find a less vulgar term for it -- people sometimes say 'flatulence', but the meaning is different.

Hi Conchita!

As I could learn from the movie ?Louis?extraterrestrial cabbage heads?(Louis d? Funes) it?s very polite to fart the whole day long in some French regions. So Louis and his neighbour were sipping cabbage soup only to be able to do the full monthy. And the idea to use cabbage soup as fuel isn?t far from actuality, is it? Rolling Eyes

P.s.: After reading your discription about the fart, I?m sure that you are also able of vivid discriptions. Wink

Louis de Funes had a strange sense of humour, but I enjoyed your account Laughing .

A tale about farting! Fri Jul 21, 2006 23:05 pm  A tale about farting!		  
Hi Conchita!

Do you know the tittle tale about Martin Luther (supposed to be the founder of the evangelical church).

That time of Luther it was supposed to show one?s enjoy with a meal by escaping winds from the mouth and the anus. Since that behaviour didn?t remain valid any longer and Luther had been in any sense a bit old-fashioned, after a good meal people didn?t applause in the described way and Luther asked :" Why aren?t you belching and farting? Didn?t you like the meal?"

Do you think this story is true?
