Scientists Confirm Smelt/Dealt it Correlation
"OH GOD, WHO WAS THAT!" is a common cry heard around college dormatories everywhere. Well, now scientists say that it is, in fact, the person raising the commotion who is at fault.
Scientists working at the Ohio State University, in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Brookings Institute, and the International Olfactory Research Center (IORC) have proven what schoolchildren have long held to be an axiom: he who smelt it, dealt it. The $500 million project is the inaugural study of its kind, as never before has human flatulent behavior been studied in such detail.
Six subjects, including Mr. Clayborne, took part in the gastrointestinal tests, and were given the same diet. They were made to sit in chairs arranged in a circle. When a subject began to smell a rectally gaseous odor, he or she would raise his or her hand to signal the scientists in charge of the project. At that point, they were asked who it was who had most recently broken wind, and in 98% of the cases (over 86,000 such emissions were studied), it was as the old childhood proclamation has always asserted: “He who smelt it, dealt it.”
Rectal exit velocity, temperature and volume (both cubic and auditory) was also recorded. “We found that our larger subjects routinely produced a low B-flat, while our lighter subjects commonly produced a tone close to middle-C. That's just side information and not really in the scope of the research, but still. We’ll need another grant to compile the auditory information."
And God said, "Go ahead, pull my finger and guess what I had for lunch. I'll give you a dollar."
