The Founding Farters
Happy Independence Day, Fartists! This 4th of July, as the fireworks explode across the sky, we aren't just celebrating liberty, democracy, and backyard barbecues. We are unearthing the single greatest piece of hidden history ever written. An untold story so legendary, so brave, and so incredibly gassy that your history teachers were too afraid to put it in the syllabus.
It turns out that over 240 years before Mr Farts donned his first pair of yellow boots, America’s most famous Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin, was plotting a flatulent revolution of his own…
The Secret Behind the Declaration of Independence 📜
Picture the scene: The year is 1781. Benjamin Franklin is serving as the U.S. Ambassador to France, sitting at a creaky wooden desk, heavily bloated on colonial baked beans and revolutionary ambition. He is surrounded by pretentious European academics who think they are too sophisticated to poop 💩
Frustrated by the intense pressure building up under his waistcoat, Ben decides that true liberty isn't just about breaking free from British rule - it's about breaking free from the agonising torment of the withheld trump.
Taking up his feather quill, he writes an official, completely unfiltered manifesto to the scientific elite, warning them that holding it in is an absolute code-green emergency:
"...scarcely permitted to avoid the offensive Sound and Smell by relieving Nature in Liberty; tho’ it is contrary to Nature, and often hurtful to the Inhabitant... causing thereby great flatulent Colics, and other severe Pains, and is sometimes destructive of Life itself."
That's right! Ben Franklin literally declared that holding in your gas is destructive to human life. He believed that the ultimate psychological thriller was forcing your body to clench when nature is screaming to let it rip.
Ben Franklin's Secret "Fart Factory" 🧪
Franklin didn’t just complain about the problem; he proposed a chaotic solution that sounds exactly like a level from our upcoming mobile game. He challenged the world's finest chemists to build a real-life facility - a literal historical Fart Factory - to invent a secret potion that could alter the very chemistry of human digestion.
Franklin’s ultimate dream? To change the smell of flatulence into a premium perfume. He envisioned a sophisticated world where:
"...the Expression of Farting Proudly shall as commonly be us’d... and that a generous Host, instead of offering his Guests Champagne or Burgundy, shall ask if they prefer their post-dinner air to smell of Musk or Lilly, Rose or Bergamot."
Imagine letting one rip at the dining table and having the room smell like a fresh bouquet of roses! We like to think that if Ben Franklin were alive today, he would be blasting the frantic, high-velocity rhythms of our Classical Farts music video on loop while frantically mixing his experimental potions in the lab.
A True Colonial Triumph 🎈
Franklin concluded his legendary mic-drop essay by asserting that compared to the pure comfort of being able to freely release gas, all other scientific discoveries from electricity to the printing press were "scarcely worth a FART-HING."
To honour this spirit of revolutionary defiance this weekend, there is only one patriotic anthem worthy of the aux. Crank up the volume and let the majestic, soaring tones of Toot to Triumph provide the ultimate soundtrack for your backyard celebrations. It is the definitive anthem for anyone looking to fart proudly in the face of tyranny!
