A Fart is Funny: The Encyclopedia of Adult Flatulence

Front Matter DedicationTo my digestive tract, that unsung hero of my existence. For years, you've toiled diligently, transforming an unending parade of questionable culinary choices into something... else. You've weathered spicy curries, questionable street food, and that regrettable incident with the entire family-sized bag of Brussels sprouts.While society may have shunned your most vocal expressions, I see your efforts. I see the Herculean task you perform daily. This book is a testament to your quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) dedication. May your rumblings be ever understood, if not always appreciated, and may your gaseous output, in all its varied forms, continue to be a source of endless fascination, and occasional embarrassment, for us all.And to my long-suffering partner, who has endured more involuntary auditory performances than any human should reasonably be expected to. Your ability to feign ignorance and your unwavering commitment to the "it wasn't me" defense are truly inspiring. This one's for you, too.
