… Catholic or even pious for that matter; farting.

I may never understand, in the span of my lifetime, the appeal that this basic bodily function has with the opposite sex. If you were to ask my son he would declare it the pinnacle of comedy. I’ve never seen a child so proud of his ability to fart on demand.

Apparently men’s affection for farting loudly themselves or laughing at people farting loudly does not wane with age or wisdom. If there was a patron saint against intestinal gas then I would invoke his intercession in the matter of my son. Or I could just realize this is one of those incidences where we women find ourselves at an intellectual advantage and learn to live with it.

To assuage my curiosity, men, what is it about the act of farting that is so humorous? I simply must know.
