Fritzie was only 11 when he founded the Friday Night Fart Festival- quite by accident mind you. That means I was present but since I was only a tender 3 years old, I failed to understand the auspiciousness of the night and the profound impact it would have on our family for decades to come. As the story goes, Mom was a bit distracted while making the chili that night. As a result, she forgot the pinch of baking soda that neutralizes the gas produced by the beans. It didn’t help that Fritzie had forgotten to take his lunch to school and therefore consumed his dinner like a bear leaving his winter cave after a long, cold season of hibernation. It was Friday, February 29 and Dukes of Hazard would be on soon. Famished and anxious to finish, Fritzie hardly chewed the beans as they descended towards their explosive completion. Before Fritzie could even leave the table to park himself in front of the television, the gas struck. Everything in the home was destroyed by the awesome power of farts. And although this may seem to describe a great tragedy, the insurance company agreed to replace everything with the best money could buy so it actually tuned out quite well. Thus, Friday night Fart Festival founded by Fritzie became a leap year tradition for our family!
