Why do people always laugh after farting?

And, similarly, why do children always laugh when they hear the words 'sex', '69', 'penis' and other sexual things?

There must be a scientific explanation for this. :confused:


Note: I'm not claiming superiority here. I laugh after I fart too.

I don't?
the sudden contraction of your abmoninal muscles from laughing caused pressure on your bowels which helped push out the "gas". it was gonna come out no matter what.

I don't find it amusing at all. The smell of other people's fart makes me run out of the room

I'm talking about when you fart not when someone else farts - that isn't funny, I agree. :redface:

If I fart I'm keeping my mouth shut, or blaming someone else :mmm:

Perhaps because they're embarrassed. Or just vulgar and enjoy making others smell their farts...
Farts are funny... :teehee:

It's one of these things in life. I really can't stand girls who deny they fart, of course you fart!
