Discovery of the Farton
Based on intensive scientific investigation, I would like to report that flatulence is not caused by hydrogen sulfide and other molecular entities as previously believed. In the course of my physics research, I have discovered that it is caused by a previously unknown sub-atomic particle: the farton. The farton, produced mainly in men, is composed of two even smaller particles: the beanon and the rawcabbageon. I have also discovered the antifarton, produced mainly in women. The antifarton is also composed of two even smaller particles: the yuckon and the notaroundmeyouwonton. When the farton and the antifarton collide, they do not annihilate each other like an electron and a positron, but the man does radiate pride.
Also discovered are the existence of the itwasntmyfartonyoujustheardon, produced mainly in women, and the ohyesitwason, produced mainly in men.
