2. Jay: "Well I can't help that, I have a flatulence problem, you don't have to broadcast it to the planet."

Bob: "Oh my god, this is a new low!"
Perry: "See you can't get information like this anywhere else besides The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe. Only here! "
Bob: "You know I was gonna say that, you know Jay, at any moment of your life there's billions of neutrinos coursing through your body but that just pales in comparison to the flatulence..."
Jay: "The fact that I'm breathing in every single fart that every emperor of Italy ever farted, it blows my mind."
Perry: "It's worse, every emperor of France."
Jay: "You would figure that we would be able to light the entire atmosphere up with one match."
