Smelly Farts

Dear Old Phart,

I am having this issue of loud smelly farts! I stopped dairy and it seemed to get worse. I stopped meat and got even worse, I stopped raw salad and it stayed about the same so I gave up cooked veggie’s and the farts go so loud I couldn’t believe it came from me. So I quit all whites, and the smell was a bit less but the farts even louder. Then I stopped eating sweets and now everyone says, “I can’t believe that came from such an emaciated women.” I am so skinny that the wind I blow propels me off the ground. What should I do?

Poot, poot


Dear Poot poot,

Ahhhh….hmmmm…this one almost had me stumped. But do not fear, the Old Phart is here!

First, change your name to Mary Poofins. Then produce a television series where you play a nanny to two young children who are the only ones who know the secret that you fly when you fart.

Now you will become famous and have millions of young admirers who fall in love with your character. Then one day a young anorexic girl who is trying to emulate you dies from malnutrition. You are blamed for her death and for thousands of females becoming anorexic.  At public appearances, plus-sized models protest your character by pelting you with half-eaten danish (ok they were hungry). At one demonstration you are knocked unconscious by a week-old, hard-as-a-rock, cranberry walnut scone.

Your sponsors leave. Your series is cancelled. You waste away and die in shame leaving a beautiful, non-anorexic  partner behind who will grieve for you the rest of her life.

Is this what you want? Of course not. Gain weigh now! To help you on the road to recovery,  I have enclosed a box of high caloric, easily digestible, Hostess Twinkies. Ok it’s half a box…I got hungry.
