Talk about not being able to toot your own horn...

I remember the problems British folk had when asked not to donate tins of beans... the hungry didn't wanted more.


Hello? What happened to Beano?

Pssst...FIRST!

"He said: "I can see no reason why they shouldn't be available by the spring. It depends how fast I can persuade other people to move."

but if they're low fart, .. um .. nevermind

Doh!

Darn you Dave R! Darn you!

Also, the article says this guy invented a "flatulence indicator" in 1994. Does that mean he's a career expert in farting?

Note to self...another job you dont want..to be a lab
tech in the fart production department.

Beans are suddenly a less magical fruit.

oh, just haaaa. whaddaya wanna be when YOU grow up, Colin? A fart measure-er? what???

Did his name have to be Dr Colin Leakey?

But then this wouldn't be funny anymore:

Church Bulletin Bloopers

A bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church basement. Special music will follow.

Aunt Nancy~ Eeeeeeewwwwwwww!

Dr Colin Leakey said: "It's been one hell of a grind."
TMI

it's only a matter of time before someone comes up with "Extreme Beans" with added flatulesence. Target market: males between 5 - 80.

You can pretty much eliminate the wind-breaking if you rinse them before eating.

Those beans would be of no use to this guy

the fartiste!

Hey elle! Pujol! hee hee hee.

What the heck is a "tonne"?

Aunt N - if you're still around, that's my all time favorite Who album.

Flash - Tonne is British for 2000 pounds

Aunt Nancy - I gotta disagree - but you're close. The best use of baked beans by the British (hey look!! I made an alliteration!) is Ann Margret swimming in them (and soapsuds) in Tommy.

(Sorry - I tried to Google a picture of that scene but I got nothin'.)

I understand Dr. Leakey's parents died in a mysterious accident when he came from from his first day of grade school...with a last name like that, naming a kid "Colin" should've brought the death penalty...

I wonder at what college/university this gentleman earned his Master of Fine Farts degree ... ?

pogo - I'm glad you like that one. Apparently Bumble thinks otherwise, but she's just a "kid" at 21.

Mr. C - I must admit to never having seen Tommy. I knew about The Who Sells Out because my older brothers had the album and a picture like that makes a real impression on an 8-year old.

"what's for tea, Mum?"

what's next, non-laxative prunes?

I have got to show this article to my 10 year old son. No one could enjoy that story better than a 10 year old boy.

If you like to cook - after soaking beans, add carrots, then boil. Your male dinner guests will be extremely dissappointed. (The females will be thrilled.)

If you don't want carrots in the beans when serving, cut big pieces, so they'll be easy to scoop out.

WHAT!? Carrots absorb the gases!?

*wonders if bunny's fart*

Kibby, actually bunnies, rats, and other rodents don't fart, they can't burp either. I am not sure why, but becaues of this reason giving your pets carbinated beverages is a big no-no. To much will kill them.

"His breakthrough[:-D] comes as food giants Branston and Heinz prepare to go to war..."


Hey, I thought chemcial weapons had been outlawed?

Colin Leakey? Isn't that kind of a personal question??

There is a pro baseball player named Harry Colon --pronounced like 'cologne' -- apparently our local sportscaster was a Hooked on Phonics grad 'cuz when he announced the players we heard that there was a hairy colon in the outfield...

What do you do when you are too gassy to come to work?

You Collin Leaky!
