Features: Who is the world-famous "King of Farts"? Who brought the gas (fart) from the body onto the screen? And who discussed the huge impact of farts on family, marriage, and life in their works? A loud fart triggered a war that cost thousands of lives in Jerusalem during the "Passover" 2,000 years ago. "Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot, the more you toot, the better you feel, beans, beans, eat with every meal." This is a highly entertaining cultural history—talking about the daily behavior that people have always been shy to mention but are constantly experiencing: farting. The author of this book, Jim Dawson, introduces the role of farts at all levels and among all kinds of people from various aspects such as science, culture, and religion in an extremely humorous tone. It is different from general popular reading material, with a witty and humorous language that covers a wide range of topics. It is both a cultural history and a popular book, especially with the use of many well-known famous movie quotes as classic examples in the text, allowing readers to enjoy the slightly bitter joy that farts bring to daily life in a relaxed and humorous language environment.
