Now I know how we can all rally against global warming activism . . . we can hold toot rallies all over America! All the food concession booths could serve menu items that include lots of beans. Signs could read, “Toot if you believe global warming is a hoax!” “Toot tax unconstitutional.” “I have the right to my toots.”

Monty Python or Mel Brooks.

Lets face it, everyone loves a good f**t joke . I’m convinced that is why people still read Chaucer, if not for the Wife of Bath.

I believe that Shakespeare said a word or two on the topic as well.

A man ahead of his time, to be sure

You seem to be implying that people today are more refined/cultured/intelligent/etc. than people in the past.

I don't agree:)

You are correct. And beans on toast is a British staple. My wife grew up in England.

That could explain why most of North Dakota is located outdoors.

In Chinese society a healthy burp at the end of a meal is a compliment to the host. And let it go at that BTW.

They are gonna have a major problem getting me to comply.

Any climate police show up at my door, there will be a gaseous, natural WMD to greet them.

Thanks. It’s an old Dave Barry line from when he discovered Beano, courtesy of SCOTUS Justice Stevens. Dave described the flatulence pH of Mexican food & then added,

“Mexican food helps to explain why most of Mexico is located outdoors”.
