The Fart Artist.

As an entertainer, Joseph Pujol had a unique talent:

On stage, dressed in a fine red coat and black britches, Le Pétomane began each performance by explained to his audience that his emissions were odorless. After reassuring the masses, he would launch into his act. He would start with a comedy series of what he called ‘fart impressions’. He would emit a tiny toot, label it as the fart of a ‘new bride’, then flap a thunderous emission and label it as the same bride a week into the marriage. He did impressions of famous people, squeezed out a ten-second long squeaker, and then blew out candles using nothing by the gases emitted from his posterior.

For his finale Le Pétomane inserted a rubber tube into his anus, attached an ocarina to the end of the hose, and played popular tunes while inviting the audience to sing along.

I wonder how he didn't light his farts when he was blowing out candles with them. Having had experience with this in my mis-spent youth I can say with some expertise that farts are extremely flammable. Maybe it had something to do with his farts not smelling - he farted not methane but carbon dioxide?

Come on, you gotta be kidding? I heard about this guy before, but had no idea he performed such a finale. I'd pay to see that!

Le Petomane could actually 'inhale' air (or water!) through his anus, due to his unique musculature and physiology. His act consisted of emissions of air under controlled conditions. This is why they were odorless and also non-flammable.

Doctors wanted to examine his nether regions after his death, but he refused to allow it.

There is a lovely documentary about this gent made by the guys who made the movie "The Yes Men." Here's the imdb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250656/

Oddly enough, I actually own a VHS copy of the movie.
