One there was a family of four penguins. They weren’t ordinary winter penguins they were summer penguins. They had two kids named Geoff and Tim. The mom and dad penguin wanted to get married, so they went back in time to become human so they could become husband and wife. The kids wanted that too and supported their parents. So Mr. and Mrs. Penguin passed out invitations around town. They went to buy potatoes to make potato salad for the wedding reception. But the kids couldn’t make it to the wedding on time because they were penguins and couldn’t work the time machine.

N: Fartacine can help. It stops your unexpected farts. It’s very effective. But since it holds in all your farts for two whole days it creates a massive stink bomb fart. Don’t take it if you have kidney or bladder problems, and don’t take it if you are sick. Also don’t take it with any liquid or solid.
B: Hi I’m Bob I took fartacine for 1 week and this is what I looks like before. (farting noises). And now I didn’t fart for two days and here is what the massive fart sounded like (huge loud fart). Hope your not at a business meeting when the huge fart comes.
