About this ebook
Ahhh the church fart...
Perhaps one of the most highly regarded laughs in annals of humor (No, not anals, ANNALS). A singular source of humor since the dawn of time. One can imagine our cave-dwelling ancestors breaking each other up or even that the creator of the universe himself was known to express himself with a wet one now and then. Church farts are funny because...
A: They are farts. Funny for all children and most grown men and grown men who act like children.
B. They are in church where such humor is not just regarded as unfunny but downright sinful.
Whether you send forth a silent, holy-ghost over the gathering or listen to the congregation's oldest member give a good old fashioned pew rumbler, the church fart is a wonder to witness.
Why then do so openly skip over the part when God, speaking through the prophet Isaiah, says: “My Bowels shall sound forth like a harp for Moab.” Why are we willing to believe, if not insist, that Jesus traveled with 12 guys for three years and not one time did a contest break out?
The Pharisees are still with us. Those judgmental finger pointing keepers of all that’s correct and holy are still here. They are the ones who say, “Stop laughing. This is church.” Are they joking? No...no probably not. More is the pity.
You hold in your hands a book of Biblical Fart Jokes. That’s it. Biblical Fart Jokes. And you know what? You are allowed to laugh.
Don’t let the finger pointers win. Laughter is the greatest gift God ever gave his children. Laugh out loud. Besides, if you hold a laugh in that air has to escape somewhere and THEN where will you be? Probably sitting in your own pew.

Steve Case is one of America’s best-known and most accomplished entrepreneurs, and a pioneer in making the internet part of everyday life. He cofounded America Online in 1985, when just three percent of people were online for an average of just one hour a week. He saw the possibilities of the digital future and built AOL into the largest and most valuable internet company in the 1990s (and the first internet company to go public). Case’s passion for helping entrepreneurs remains his driving force. He was the founding chair of the Startup America Partnership—an effort launched at the White House in 2011 to accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship in every region of the country. Case also was the founding cochair of the National Advisory Council on Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and a member of President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, where he chaired the subcommittee on entrepreneurship. He was active in passing the bipartisan JOBS Act in 2012, which made it easier for startups to raise capital. His engagement on policy led Politico to name him “Washington’s tech whisperer” in 2017. As chairman and CEO of Revolution, a Washington, DC-based investment firm he cofounded in 2005, Case partners with visionary entrepreneurs to build businesses such as Zipcar, Sweetgreen, Clear, Tempus, DraftKings, and many others. Case also serves as chair of the Smithsonian Institution, which under his leadership has launched a bold effort to make the best of the Smithsonian available to every home and classroom. He is also Chairman of the Case Foundation, and with his wife Jean was among the first to commit to The Giving Pledge, dedicating a majority of their wealth to charitable causes.

Great Moments in Biblical Flatulence - Steve Case
An Introduction by the Flatulence
When I was 5th or 6th grade, I was sent off to a Summer Camp owned and operated by the United Methodist Church. Part of the week-long camp was to build Our home in the woods.
Weather permitting, the group of ten or so campers and two counselors would cook out there and sleep out there. We would read our Bibles and talk about Jesus and worship under the stars.
On the first day of camp, our group hiked out into the woods to find a spot for our home. The guy in charge (who will remain nameless because there is every
