Article-I.D.: utcsrgv.437 Posted: Tue Jun 29 10:58:27 1982 Received: Tue Jun 29 11:17:34 1982 John was having difficulty with his digestion. It seems that he was farting frequently, and each time he let one go, it sounded like "Honda!" Well, this went on for some time, and it became quite embarassing. John finally overcame his embarassment enough to visit his family physician. "What seems to be the problem?" asked the doctor. "Well," said John, "the problem is related to my farts. Each time I fart, it sounds rather strange." The doctor asked John to demonstrate, and sure enough, when he farted, it sounded like "Honda!" "Oh yes," said the doctor, "that certainly is a problem. But as it happens, I have come across this problem before. What you will have to do is visit a Japanese dentist." John expressed surprise that his problem could have anything whatever to do with his teeth, but decided to give it a go, and made a visit to the Japanese dentist recommended by his doctor. Like the doctor, the dentist asked for a demonstration, and sure enough, when John farted, it sounded like "Honda!" The dentist nodded his head in understanding, asked John to sit down, and proceeded to remove a tooth from the left side of John's mouth. When the dentist was through, he said with a satisfied look, "Well, that should solve the problem." John, disbelieving, decided to check it out, and slyly slipped out a fart, which sure enough did not go "Honda!". "Doctor!" John exclaimed, "you've done it! But what possible connection can there be between that tooth and my farting problem?" "Well," said the dentist, "in these cases I am guided by an ancient Japanese proverb: Abcess make the fart go "Honda!".
