we specialize in the science and arT of pharThou. if we really have to justify it... farting is an integral part of the human experience. every human being sometimes farts. we believe when you need to fart, you should fart! ...perhaps not into other people's faces.... but certainly not hold it in, right? :-) the social stigma associated with farting and burping is unhealthy and harmful.

we believe that every phart falls into 1 or more of the following categories:
1. just a burp that's gone so far down the cakehole it came out the other end
2. low density material (gas) that your body needs to get rid of in order to function optimally

it is better to phart than to keep it in. have you ever tried to hold in a fart indefinitely? terrible indeed...

many thanks to Mike who had arThowed these wonderful F.R.T.S. principles upon us:

As a lifetime member of F.R.T.S. I do solemnly swear to liberate myself from the pretense that my body is anything less than a work of art. I recognize I do not need to be standardized and insist upon the virtue of variety. I will also help others acknowledge the same pure beauty in themselves.
