It seems, incredibly enough, that this man actually made a living out of trained flatulence QuoteJoseph Pujol, better known as Le Petomane (which we may loosely translate as "the fartiste") Quotefart impressions, as it were: the timid fart of the young girl, the hearty fart of the miller, the fart of the bride on her wedding night (almost inaudible), the fart of the bride a week later (a lusty raspberry), and a majestic 10-second fart which he likened to a couturier cutting six feet of calico cloth. QuoteHe could also blow out candles and stage footlights. By way of grand finale, he would attach an ocarina to the tube and play popular tunes such as O sole mio, with which he would invite the audience to sing along. Performance art at its finest.
