Correct but there are many types.Tell you what choose white or pink. Offer only open to Wodders

[Wodrick]

Never heard of pink ones so white.
Outside pharmacy at present so no immediate offer

You win a coconut Wodders. During the drought we had hundreds of pink pelicans on the puddles in our lagoon. Not sure about whites but they are certainly around.

Le Pétomane is also referenced in Blazing Saddles, a 1974 satirical Western comedy film directed by Mel Brooks. Brooks appears in multiple supporting roles, including the dim-witted Governor William J. Le Petomane, whose name suggests he is full of hot air.

Thanks for that Opsboi.
As "Blazing Saddles" is my all time favorite movie , this fun fact adds another layer to it.

Weirdly, BS was on the Beeb last night - I assumed it would have been cut to PC smithereens, but no - it's never been clearer what a brilliant anti-racist satire it is, and actually seems even funnier in today's climate

The Producers is on tonight, a must-watch in my book

[Wodrick]

I am unable to verify however :

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Bernard Clemmens of London has the longest official butt burp at 2 minutes, 42 seconds.

This is all over the net on several different sites.

Watched Blazing Saddles ( again), recorded The Producers, just need Young Frankenstein for a perfect nights viewing

PS Blazing Saddles is available on BBC iPlayer
