Have you ever heard of banking a fart?!? I recently heard the term and have no idea what it means. Is it like bouncing it off a wall so people think someone else did it? Like throwing your fart?

hmmm.

To me it sounds like a guaranteed expelling. As in "I just had camp's beans for lunch, I'll be banking on a fart come the afternoon!"

Nice one! I'm gonna have red beans and rice tonight, so I'll probably be bankin' a few in the morning. ;)

Shorter than "a coon's age" but longer than "since wash day".

Only professionals can do that. The rest of us accidentally let 'em escape. =)

I think you'd have to have a pretty talented ass to put English on a fart, Flea. Although using a wall might be a good way to "bank" one.

This is funny enough on it's own...

ILL WIND BLOWS AT RIKSBANK

On a rather breezier note, in August the Riksbank paid out over $100,000 in compensation to a disgruntled employee. 44-year-old computer technician Göran Andervass had fallen out with one of his colleagues after being "provoked by a disgusting fart - a right stinker - at 7.30 am in my office", he told the court in a statement. Taking exception to this, and believing it to have been done purely to irritate him, Andervass took it upon himself to censure his colleague in a manner that only seemed to escalate the crisis, resulting in his taking an apparently unduly long sick leave (according to Norwegian news service Nettavisen) and ultimately being "given notice due to personal reasons" in late 2001.

He then took action against the bank, which "was advised by our legal representative to arrive at an amicable settlement with this person, which it then did," it told Newsmakers, and it now considers the issue to be "over and done with". But Andervass's legacy lives on: such behaviour will no longer be tolerated at the bank. It told Nettavisen: "We do not have a specific fart ban, but we have ethical guidelines and naturally, farting is simply not done here."

OMG, I'm laughing my (talented) ass off. Somehow when I saw the phrase "English on a fart" I pictured someone farting on an English muffin!

That's as good a thing as any to do with them... everybody sensible knows biscuits are best!

Maybe it's some pool term for a bad shot. "He was going for the 8-ball but all he did was bank a fart."

HAHAHA! It could be just a general term for blowing it! "I needed a 78 on the final to pass the course, but man, did I ever bank a fart..."

See, and I think of banking as something like depositing and saving.

"Oooh, I farted into that chair, you know it's going to stink when I get up later, I totally banked it."

Hahaha! Reminds me of the Carlin routine where he does a radio pitch for the Fart Retrieval League. "Millions of farts are lost every year in seat cushions. . . . Please help rescue lost farts!"

Yeah, but whoever sits down later gets that banked fart rebounded into them--I don't believe any fart is ever "lost" it always seems to find it's way to someone's nose.

Carlin is great though. I wanted to see him when he came here in October.

I didn't know they had a special direct deposit system for gas.

And soon you'll be able to access this deposit system using a wide range of cellphones and mobile devices! Fart technology, yo.
