I don't need Robin Williams telling me why I laugh at it, but it was nice to hear what a filter-free comedian thought when asked THAT question.

(23,343 posts)Since we are all ultimately alone, isolated islands of subjectivity in an objective world, we have absolute freedom over our internal nature, and the source of our value can only be internal.
Therefore, my fart, and my subsequent smile, are what make this universe perfect.

(21,020 posts)about farts is funny.
The stink...the noise...the shock/disgust/amusement value...
Even the word "fart" itself is funny.
I've often pondered the reasons for this, but come up empty every time.
What the hell...we should just enjoy them.
That made my day.
