Transcript:
Calvin: "Cigars are all the rage, you should smoke cigars!"
Mom: "Flatulence could be all the rage, but it would still be disgusting"
Calvin: "I see"
Dad: "Nicely put, dear"
i always thought that is why old men smoked cigars – to cover up the flatulence!and young men smoke them because they know when they get old they will need to be accustomed to them. (cigars)
I quit smoking years ago, and for a time, my Dad smoked a pipe. One of the blends he chose was “Half & Half” pipe tobacco. My Mom called it “half tobacco and half manure”.
My wife buys those “jars of farts” putty containers. When we are in a theater waiting for the movie to begin, she starts activating it. It’s so funny everybody busts up!

It is nicely put, taking into account other words she could’ve used to describe the same thing.

I don’t care who you are. Farts are FUNNY. They should be all the rage. A lot more people would be laughing … and running for the exits.

Besides the silliness of doing something because it is “all the rage.”

The difference is that flatulence smells better than cigars and doesn’t leave the whole house smelling like something died ( or should have) for days.

I agree, Mum!
Personally, I have better things to do than start smoking.

Flatulence is all the rage in my house. After a pot of beans, my wife and I can make the covers float.

They are not! 7 out of 10 girls said they wouldn’t date someone who smokes. That isn’t the point, but still.
