Roland the Farter

[underpants]

Roland the Farter (known in contemporary records as Roland le Fartere, Roulandus le Fartere or Roland le Petour) was a medieval flatulist who lived in twelfth-century England. Roland the Farter's given name was George.[citation needed] He was given Hemingstone manor in Suffolk and 30 acres (12 hectares) of land in return for his services as a jester for King Henry II. Each year he was obliged to perform "Unum saltum et siffletum et unum bumbulum" (one jump and whistle and one fart) for the king's court at Christmas.[1]

Roland is listed in the thirteenth-century English Liber Feodorum (Book of Fees).

8. Now all you need is Alexa.

If you have one of those gadgets, just say "Alexa, fart!" and enjoy the performance. Do not do this if your household includes little boys, though. Or adult men.
