I was reading an article in the paper the other day about new research that is being done to help identify and combat Global Warming. Apparently, there is an entire research facility in Australia devoted to the study of how sheep flatulence affects the environment. Scientists believe that the abundance of sheep flatulence in the atmosphere is actually having a greater impact than car exhaust. So, research is being conducted to determine how to feed sheep without giving them gas.
How do you solicit funds for that? "So, you want me to give you money so you can study sheep farts?"
And more importantly, how do you test if the sheep has passed gas? "All right, Bob, you go stand behind the sheep and see if you smell anything."
