Q: Speaking of pride, what about this T-shirt you’ve been photographed wearing that says, “I [heart] to fart”?
BB: I LOVE to fart.
Q: What’s wrong with you?
BB: I’m honest. Have you ever farted?
Q: One or two times.
BB: And did it feel good?
Q: Always.
BB: Probably so. That’s why I wore it. I love to fart. I do. When the time is right, I do it. I’m not going to hide it.
Q: You’re so blunt about your love for flatulence.
BB: Yeah. Well, someone gave me the shirt because of my history of farting, so I wear it. I LOVE to fart. I think I still have it.
Q: What gets you really gassy?
BB: Anything. The air we’re breathing right now.
Q: Should I be ready for something?
BB: I have no trouble. It’s not one thing that I eat, it’s just passed down from my father. My father was a very good farter. I have a sister who’s very good at it, too. Probably better than I am.
Interesting, but to tell you the truth I can’t think of a time when I’ve passed gas and I’ve been displeased either. Well maybe when I was in Middle School and did so in class and all the girls didn’t talk to me for about a month. Otherwise I’m on board with Blyleven’s thinking.
And just for old time’s sake (NSFW)…..
