Looking forward that demo!

Gastric humor is something I wholeheartedly endorse. Farting is funny. Tiny animals fart, the Queen farts, President Obama farts, everyone is farting all the time and it's hysterical. The green skinned tough guys of Orc Atta...

The fart joke is one of the mighty pillars of comedy because it's so basic. Any embarrassing action accompanied by a sound effect is automatically rendered hilarious to all witnesses. And although good timing can amplify the...
