No matter how old you are, jokes about farts are always going to make you chuckle. This Japanese art work proves that it is a classic humor approach that dates back a long time.
Arabian Nights features a tale called “The Historic Fart.â€
Here is a passage from the tale: “When he had made a great noise with that end of him which talked easiest, he cried out, ‘Oh dear, oh dear! I think I have made a mess of myself.’â€
HAHA–classic…
Even a cat winds up down wind at one point. For real–farts are just funny.
Japan’s Edo Period (1603-1868), there’s He-Gassen, or, “the fart war†depicts an epic booty battle of the gaseous men and horses.
It's possible that this is a political cartoon of sorts, let's just say a 19th century version of South Park. Yeah, this is definitely something they'd do, i.e. Terrance and Phillip.
There is much more of a humorous story to be told about these backside burners.
So, check out the full archive of the fart humor that started it all at Waseda University.
