I'm an idiot

It’s an ongoing epidemic, mostly for teenagers. Sure, I’ve tried it. It’s something everyone has tried once or twice. The first time I saw it I was mesmerized. I was in the Army playing war games, while stationed at Fort Riley, KS. It was one of those rare moments where we had a little down time, so my section and me, which consisted of: my chief Sgt. Fields, gunner and assistant chief Sgt Bruce, number one man (the guy that loads and fires the cannon) PFC Soper, and me the track operator, we sat there and joked around until Sgt. Bruce yells out:

“You guys gotta check this out.”

Sgt. Bruce dug deep into his pocket for a couple of seconds and withdrew his trusty Zippo lighter. What I saw next would change my life dramatically. Sgt Bruce sat down, put his legs above his head, grimaced, and promptly lit his fart. We laughed like a bunch drunk kids at a Three Stooges movie marathon. I mean I’ve seen this stuff on T.V. but to see it in person was unreal. Needless to say I was hooked.
