“A very drunk roommate once uttered the proverbial “hey y’all watch this,” lifted one leg in the air and lit a fart with a butane lighter. Yes, they do ignite, very successfully in his instance”
Oh yes, they ignite very well. Methane gas. One of my buddies used to do that stunt. After a few drinks he’d sit on a chair that had a wooden seat and light farts to great acclaim. Bravo! Very impressive fireballs between his legs. I saw when a big one got too hot for him and he he jumped from the chair swatting at his crotch! He wisely abandoned that line of entertainment.
I don’t recall Danny ever trying it again either, come to think of it.

Now, just image Rosie O’Donnell letting one loose. Would heat a city for months. Also would kill every roach and rat in town.
As an old sailor once said to me, “There’s nothing worse than a week-old beer fart.”
One reason they have banded smoking in the US Congress is the fear of an explosion from all the gasbags they have in it.
This is one of the funniest FR “comments” thread I have ever read. Excuse me, I’ve got to go change my pants.
