Google says that was Rita Rudner. I loved her comedy routines. And Paula Poundstone’s, and Elayne Boosler’s. Boosler was probably my favorite. She wasn’t in her thirties. She was in her twenty-teens. I used that one for the entire decade when I hit thirty. “I’m twenty-ten. I’m twenty-thirteen.”

Sorry, but one story of one woman lighting her farts does not make it a frequent thing. There are exceptions to every rule, of course.

I’d rather not be charged with arson.

Jay, I think better of you. I know there are guys out there who would never do that sort of thing. But there are also extremely few women who would ever get into a farting contest. Maybe a few more with the belching thing, nowadays.

Both my brothers lit their farts during their teen years. I do not know a single woman who ever did that.

Of course, belching and farting contests are entirely different matters…

J.

Yeah. Different species. If you find a story of women doing anything remotely like that, I’d have them tested to be sure they’re not men.
