Second-Hand Gas Kills 130,000 Americans a Year
Monday October 20, 2003
Federal health officials are expected to soon issue a report warning the public about the dangers of second-hand gas. Human gas, that is.
"Second-hand gas, if inhaled on a regular basis, can cause headache, irritated eyes, emphysema, asthma, bronchitis and in many cases, heart attack," says a physician with ties to the Centers for Disease Control.
"Each year, approximately 130,000 Americans die from second-hand gas -- and many others suffer serious ailments as a result of long-term exposure.
"Gas-passers and non-gas-passers alike must realize the extent to which breaking wind -- commonly called 'farting' -- damages everyone's health."
According to the soon-to-be-released CDC report, each year second-hand gas causes:
800 heart attacks 250 strokes 30,000 asthma attacks 50,000 cases of earache Due to poor dietary habits, there is now an "epidemic" of flatulence in America, the report warns. The average American produces a staggering three pints of gas and breaks wind 14 to 23 times daily.

I noticed that the supposed harm is all from
secondhand gas.
Finally, scientific proof that they just don't smell as bad if they're yours.

Democrats, 130,000 died when they fart their brains out.
But as usual, they still walk a few more years above ground to vote after they have passed.... on!

This is why the earth spins on its axis. We've been powering the planet all along and just didn't realize our collective strength in numbers.
