Composition of farts

Here’s a true story from the days when we were bringing feminism and comprehensive schooling to Afghanistan, or whatever it was we were trying to do by sending troops there.

It is Christmas Day in a forward position. A young, idealistic officer, recently arrived from Sandhurst, says to a grizzled sergeant: ‘It’s jolly quiet today. Surely the Afghans don’t observe Christmas?’ And the sergeant replies: ‘No sir, it’s quiet because we’re not going out there and annoying them.’
