I've always wondered this, too.

There is not enough back pressure in your colon to messure it with a tire gauge. the question really is SPI (smells per inch) thats a question

For a real good time, stick a bicycle pump up your ass and blow up your stomach. Then squeeze and a long, loud fart blows out.
NOTE: I do not recommend this and have NEVER tried it myself. It's just gross, dude!

I suppose if you had a hose full of Mercury, and you stuck your ass on one end of the hose, and measured how far the mercury rose, you would have a measurement in Inches of Mercury.
Somewhere on a website about math, there is a formula to convert inches of mercury (IN/Hg) to PSI.

Hey, girls! Don't you hate it when you fart and the fart bubble moves through your front butt cheeks? It drives me crazy, especially when I'm in public and can't just randomly laugh from the tickle without looking like a nut job.

Do boys have front butt cracks too?

Stephan: To measure the pressure of fart gas you could rig a simple water manometer to a rubber hose and insert it into your asshole when you feel a fart coming on. The pressure of the fart is equal to the number of millimeters the column of water in the manometer is displaced. One could also rig a spirometer to a tube and fart through that. I wouldn't recommend using Slim Jim Junkie's mercury method because you could risk sucking mercury up your ass, and we all know how toxic that is. Good luck.

I WANNA LEARN HOW 2 FART!

I've been having this problem recently as I've started going commando in a skirt. Everytime I have a huge fart it slaps across my cheeks and hurts. Especially the ones that crack up my pussy lips. I think I will try measuring the PSI of these things. Then again, that will look pretty strange when I stick a gauge down there.

why light a match after taking a poo ? i don't understand .

the smokey sulfur smell covers up your shit stink. Is this really such a complicated thing? The world is doomed.

Wouldn't an individual want to use a meter that measures speed and pressure. I wonder if an instrument that measures velocity might not be more accurage.

I would think velocity would directly correlate to the actual psi. I do think if you took a basic vacuume guage and inserted the hose just a bit into your butt, and then released the wind, it should give you a relatively accurate reading.

Through mathmetical equations, I'm sure you could calculate the speed as well. This would be a great problem for the dude on NUMBERS.

Might be able to come up with FPI (farts per inch). Then there always the Stinkometer to measure how stinky it is, and the degree of waift ability etc etc.

It's a volume, speed, pressure equation that you'd have to measure; therefore, Mr. Bunghole tells me no.... Perhaps a Butthole Doplar which would include dewpoint as well. For the stink factor, probably an olfactometer incorporated. There would be the TRUE measurement of the fart.

What about those doohickeys that asthmatics blow into? Can those be used to measure the PSI of a fart?

This thread resembles my sex life. A lot of talk about how to do it, but nothing ever gets done.

Dumpster, your comment reminds me of the IBM Manager joke when he's in the boudoir with his wife.... Guess you blue boys have something in common.

One would appreciate being made privy to the joke, Bunghole.

Is someone a little testy today? I just didn't tell the joke, because it's a classic oldie and figured you'd already heard it. Here goes:

Three women were sitting around talking about their husbands’ performance as lovers. The first woman says, “My husband works as a marriage counselor. He always buys be flowers and candy before we make love.” The second woman says, “My husband is a motorcycle mechanic. He likes to play rough.” The third woman says, “My husband is a manager at IBM. He sits on the edge of the bed and tells me how great it’s going to be when I get it.”

HAHAHA!!!! No, believe it or not, that is one joke I hadn't heard before!

But it reminds me of another one: This lady goes to the doctor for a physical exam. "I'm getting married for the fourth time tomorrow," she says, "and I want to make sure everything's all right."

The doc examines her, and says, "madam, you are in extremely good health, but I'm curious about one thing: You said you have been married three times already, yet I find you are still a virgin. How can this be?"

"Well," she says, "the first time, I was married to a gynecologist, and all he wanted to do was look at it.

"The second time, I was married to a psychiatrist, and all he wanted to do was talk about it.

"The third time, I was married to a contractor, and he just kept saying, 'two weeks! Two weeks!'

"But THIS time," she concluded, "I'm marrying a lawyer, so I KNOW I'll get screwed!"

haha, this is worth commenting on just so people will see these jokes.

Number One . . . I order you to take a number two.

After drinking loads of ale i sometimes sqirt pure water, well not pure but clear with small traces of tabac that float. the amont of gas fired out is more than consumed and when i get up the water has gone round the u bend. thats some psi.

[Flounder's voice, of Animal House]: Hiya Guys... just stumbled into this site while surfing while, what else? pooping. Really cool! Unrestrained poopie-tawk -- I must be in heaven.

I think I love you, Shit Volcano!

Interesting... how many psi is a fart..?

I'm guessing it somewhere around 10 - 15 bar like an espresso maker..which is approx 150 - 210 psi.. Although on a good day you could probably manage 250 psi. At that rate you would have blown it out your ass at such a rate, I venture to say that a sonic boom may result and shatter all the windows in your apartment, and the porcelain pot, if you happen to be sitting on one at the time may prove to be much like an aircraft ejector seat.... whew ... what a mess... and a stink!

Dumpster, I heard the joke included a gourmet! ;)

Wow thought provoking aint it? My farts are loud and can gag a maggot BUT PSI hmmmmmm Im gonna have to think about this one...............I would say not very powerful I mean not even enuff to shake a table lamp.

Funny TSV should mention going commando...I am always in that state, and when I get a butt blast with some force behind it, invariably my nuts get slammed into my stomach, then on the return arc, get completely wedged in my butt cheeks. Maybe the Thong Boys were right....oh Bunga....got an extra one?

Check out this movie: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/271044/fire_fart/

This is truly the most enviable example I have ever witnessed of the power of a fart... In an amazing display, this guy, in the most spectacular fashion, lights a candle with one mother of of a fart... you wont be disapointed!

I think the answer is between 2 and 3 psi tops. Gastro docs treating patients for fecal incontinence (poor souls) use a technique called anorectal manometry to measure. A 1 psi differential would lift a column of water in a manometer 27 inches.

Woman do fart.... BIG..

My ex wife could fart longer, louder and smellier that I could ever achieve..! That's not the reason we got divorced....

A fun post would be mesuring our FPM (farts per minute) on a gassy day. I'm sure I could crack 5 or 6 nice FPM on a good day after a cheese dijornos pizza. As for FPSI, that thing you blow into to measure your lung strength where the ball goes up the tube should do the trick. (I don't know what its called)

I think a better question here is can you blow a "gasket" holding back a fart?

After playing the trombone a few years, I developed strong lips and lungs and would use them blow a girl up like a balloon, while in a 69 position. I could measure the fart pressure with my tongue when I squeezed her and my tongue would fly out of her anus.

I just got married. Is it normal for your wife to save farts in 20 ounce coca cola bottles? They are starting to stack up, but she will NOT tell me what the hec they are for. Can someone help?

I suspect your frugal bride is saving the gas to burn during the next cold spell, or perhaps to fuel the oven for that batch of cookies she's baking for you.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Hmmm, I didn't think about that. I just went and checked and I found a few "empties" under the bed. Maybe she is huffing them.

I would suggest, assbelch, that you take your wife out to dinner tonight instead of letting her cook steaks on your gas grill.

My special need's student crapped in your honor roll student's backpack.

I know of no way to measure the PSI of a fart, but I have measured the methane content. While in college I worked a summer in construction as an explosive gas tester at a chemical plant. As cement and dump trucks entered the site, I had to walk them in with a "sniffer pump" that sampled the air for explosive gases that the combustion engines may ignite. Midway through the summer my boss got a new, automated gas detector from a mine safety company. It was much easier to use and way more accurate. Only problem was it had to be calibrated at the start of the day and after each break. This calibration was simple in that a whiff of a known gas was introduced into the tester and if the expected number came, good to go. One particularly shitty day, everybody was having a bad day. The Wops couldn't find their shovels, the Portagooze couldn't find their cement trowels, the Polacks couldn't find their dicks, and my boss couldn't find the vial of test gas. I had 3 cement trucks waiting for me so I was getting pissed. After about 15 minutes of fucking around, I said "Give me the godamn thing." I held the tester behind me and loosed an enormous fart that cleared out everyone around me.Over my laughing, I heard an ominous buzzing noise so I looked at the tester. I'll be darned if the tester didn't read my fart gas. Therefore I can say with all the authority that my summer job had, that a human fart contains 365 parts per million methane. This analysis (huh, huh, I said "anal"), is accurate and backed up by OSHA and the Mine Safety and Health_Administration.______
Here I sit, my cheeks a flexin' , trying to give birth to another Texan!!

I hooked up one of those vaccuum packers things to my cat flap last week, and boy, I still ain't right.

I saw this in the "approval queue"...not sure what it means, but its funny as hell!!!

We can confirm that Explosive Gas Meters will detect Farts. Ours (a Nighthawk Combo Gas/Co Detector) has done so twice this year at 215 and 219 ppm and we have not had any gas appliances burning - but a big ass fart had just been done 10 seconds before in a 12 foot by 12 foot bedroom that the thing was in. I rechecked it and farting right on it can make it jump to at least 290.

As I recall, the mass of gas is porportional to the heat of the ass.
