This is a
skill I developed after weeks of
practice. To do it, you put your hands together as if you were going to shake hands with yourself, with both
thumbs facing you. It usually helps if your hands are a little
damp; putting them in your
pocket or sitting on them to make them
sweat a bit will usually achieve the desired
effect. The idea is to create a
flow of air - try to
suck air in from the bottom of your grasp, into a pocket in the center of your palms. Then, create a small
exit point between the thumb of your right hand and the index finger of your left. Adjust the size of the opening until you get the
fart noise. You'll never need a
whoopee cushion again. This is great fun while standing in large groups of people, because you can make the
noise near someone's hind quarters and watch as their friends
gasp in
horror! And since all you had to use was your hands, you'll never be suspect!
I've learned to do this well enough that I can now "
scat", creating some pretty
funky beats. I have three
friends who can do this also, so when we all can get together, we create a fart-noise
quartet. I know, pretty
pathetic.
