It's somehow comforting to believe that a 'fart joke' is so universal that it can transcend all cultures and time. Like, I wonder if the ancient Egyptians found farting funny too?

Fart jokes are even older than ancient Egypt:

According to research led by Dr Paul McDonald, Senior lecturer at the University of Wolverhampton’s School of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences, the oldest example of recorded humour dates back to at least 1900 BC and is a Sumerian proverb warning new husbands about their flatulent brides: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap." The joke, which follows a structure, was found on tablets from the Old Babylonian period but may date back as far as 2,300 BC.

Holy shit, dude. That's awesome!!

This is absolutely juvenile humor and you should be ashamed.

I hope this helps push forward my idea for underwear with a pouch for activated charcoal packets.
