The boys, in wonderment, wanted to know more about the history of farts.Roger was the first to start the conversation. "Hey guys, have you ever heard of the Farting King of England?" he said with a smirk on his face. Joey and Brian shook their heads in disbelief. Roger went on to explain the story.
