Odd Magnetic Ribbon

We have all seen those Magnetic Ribbons on cars that say "support our troops", "Support Breast Cancer Awareness", "POW-MIA", "Virginia Tech" and so on and so on. Well when I was in the parking lot at my work today, my sister pointed one out on a car. It read "Support Farting". I had to read it twice to be sure. Of course, if you know me, you know I thought that was hilarious and immediately wanted one. Then I started thinking, who came up with that? What exactly does that mean? Does that mean support farting in public?, support farting in general?, support farting as an art form? I'm not quite sure. I'm not sure I want to support farting in public. Now don't get me wrong we all do it occasionally, some more than others. We have all been walking down an aisle in a store and then there it is the nose hair burning smell that someone left for those unfortunate ones (us) who happen uppon it. My husband has done this to me many times. Of course he always gives me the look and I just know, run and run quickly. But what if the typical practice in the good ol' USA was to just fart whenever you had the urge. You could be in church with the pastor giving a really good sermon and then you hear it echo off of the pews...someone farted. We all ignore though b/c it is ok. Or maybe you are talking to someone and then they just let one rip without even a pause in the conversation. You then of course take two steps back to avoid the odor. What if a high ranking official on TV let a juisy one out right as they are discussing the war. I'm not sure I could get used to that. However I was always taught that it's better to let it out than keep it in. I leave you with this little tune that my dad taught me.

Beans, Beans the musical fruit.
The more you eat, the more you toot.
The more you toot, the better you feel.
So eat beans for every meal.

P.S. PULL MY FINGER!!!
