After writing about the automatic fart machine and seeing the remote-controlled farting bear, I thought there wouldn't be a lot more to say on the subject. But I underestimated the drive and innovation of America's entrepreneurial class. From the "Things You Never Knew Existed" web site comes a must-have for any well-appointed home: farting salt shakers.

You know you've been waiting for this. Imagine Easter dinner: Mom, Dad, the in-laws - all gathered around the table. Grace has been said, Uncle Bart takes a spoonful of peas and then reaches for the salt. R-r-r-i-i-p!  He may try to blame the dog, but it's another case of family fun for everyone!

Where else can you get this much fun for only $12? Plus the shakers even dispense salt and pepper so you can use them all the time (who wouldn't?). If this doesn't prove we've got more going for us than the snooty French, then I just don't know what does.
