Excellent news!

Nawww — probably wouldn’t allow it on account of the methane.
I have raised goats and they don’t fart, they do burp...my old dog farts.......lots of old men and women do also...as my daddy use to say, this was on an old tombstone...”Where ever you go let your farts run free, for holding them back is what killed me”.
