    So we can add to our stock of fart knowledge then. We already know that:

    The one who smelt it, dealt it.

    And also: The one who made the rhyme, committed the crime.

    Now we know that: The one who opened fire unleashed the arse choir

    This explains why George Lucas had to change it so that Greedo fired first...

      This explains why George Lucas had to change it so that Greedo fired first..

      Come on, Harrison Ford has diarrhea when shooting that scene originally, not extreme flatulence. You can find an old interview with him somewhere on the interwebs where he explains that if he did not shoot he would have had an "accident".

        That was Indiana Jones. Shooting someone, rather than having a sword fight. Where the appropriate rhyme is that:

        The one who follows through, gets covered in poo.

        In the Star Wars Cantina scene I'd imagine it's far more likely that the Wookie farted first.

    Air biscuits?

    Barking spiders? Sounds like a load of guff to me. Probably an ass-tronomical wind-up, a story thats been in-flated out of all proportion. No doubt someone will get to the bottom of it...

    I now realise that I just learned a couple of new slang phrases that with hindsight I realise that I probably didn't want to know.

    Guess that just makes me an old fart...

    Sensitive, aren't they? And remarkably quick to anger over insignificant things. Much as certain Americans seem to be overly concerned when others "disrespect" them.

    Harden up.

    Honour

    The gypsies can make almost anything into a matter of honour; looked at them wrong , said thank you wrong walked wrong, etc.

    Sounds like a load of crap to me!

    Isn't it a little early for this.

    It is the sort of thing I would expect on a Friday in a Post Pub Nosh story.

    Was this Shakepeare's missing backstory on why the Montagues and Capulets hated each other so much?

    What about

    finding a deserted island, putting there the two families with guns and plenty of ammos, then taking back the survivors 2 weeks later?

    Next time, they should do what the Russians do - and blame the dog.

    Even if there isnt one.

    No Joke.
