Fart! In the Name of Love

There was a little bit of hullaballoo in the office today surrounding a particular draft event tonight for a seemingly competetive Fantasy Baseball League. One of my superiors, (I'll call him SH) was standing near my office (desk) when he mentioned that a prospective pick was 27 years old.

Semi-minding my own business while printing some labels, I mumbled, "Old fart." After a minute or so, SH asked me, "Did you just say 'fart'?"
Me: What?
SH: Did you just say, "Fart."?
Me: Yes.
SH: Why?
Me: I just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
SH: Oh.

Apparently he was paying attention. And for the rest of the afternoon, whenever SH walked by my office (desk), he'd mumble, "Fart." Just for me.

Good times.

In honor of this evening's Fantasy Baseball Draft, and GOFOGT (Good Old Fashioned Office Good Times), here's an old fart joke I had never heard before. Compliments of newbluebaby:

~

An Indian comes into town and says to the local doctor. "Big chief, no fart."

Doctor gives him a pill and tells the Indian, "Have him take this, he should be fine by tomorrow."
A few days go by and the Indian returns. "Big chief, no fart."

Doctor gives him a bigger pill and tells the Indian, "Ok, have him take this one and he should be fine in a few days."

A week goes by and the Indian returns. "Big chief, no fart!!!"

Doctor give him an even bigger pill and tells the Indian, "Ok, well, have your chief take this one... you may have to break it up... and this has to do the trick!"

At the end of the day the Indian returns. "Big fart!!! NO CHIEF!!!"

Fart.
