Is there anything funnier to most high school kids than farts? Discomfiting noises accompanied by tear-inducing odors -- nothing induces teen hysterics more easily than flatulence.
So you have to admire the simple genius of the recently formed Alliance for Climate Education, which has concocted an appealing formula to reach youth for their cause: 1. School assemblies that get them out of class; 2. Twenty-something educators articulate in teen-speak; 3. Hip, amusing animation; 4. Farts.

Ping!
It doesn't end with high school for most men I know. Guys, away from their wives, still find farts uproariously funny.
That's because they are uproariously funny.
Likewise skunks.

We had guests from Finland a couple of years ago and farting was like breathing to them. They could lift a cheek and fart in the middle of a serious conversation around the living room coffee table like it was nothing. My family would glance at each other while the Finnish folks just sat there farting.
Agreed, I guess I’m easily amused but a loud fart in a quiet room generally breaks me up.

Away from their wives? A friend of mine howled one night that he had a charley horse in his leg and would his wife, quick!, massage it. When she went to massage his leg he held the bedsheets down tight so she couldn't get out as he unleashed a torrent of hard-boiled egg farts. He thought it was hilarious. They got divorced a few years later.
That would do it.
A teacher once told me that if you want to get the attention of young elementary schoolers, just say “underwear”.
Maybe that's how the Finns held Stalin's hordes off so long in '39 or '40.
Except that the Rooskies were even more flatulant.
One of my sisters recounted to me an experience she had at a single party many years ago before she was married. There were a variety of males trying terribly hard to impress the females at the party. One young stud while in the middle of some peroration about all the wonderful things he'd done in his life, paused momentarily to lift a cheek and loudly break wind. Then he went on with his peroration like nothing had happened. My sister said he left the party by himself.
