Everyone immediately fetched out their very best manners, resulting in an odd battle of bows that was unfortunately accompanied by a volley of farts rather than gunfire. .... To further stress the grandeur of the occasion, Plato had brought along a sprayer containing courtly farts, with which he had been perfuming the followers of Dionysus. -------------------------------------Chapter 83: EXPLOIT - EXPLOIT: .......As an aside, I would like to tell you that he taught me the following: there are four nationalities in this world that are analogous to the four plagues that can be found in hospitals - lice, crabs, fleas and bed bugs. -----------------------------------ULDRIC. That's outrageous! ------------------------------------------MAROT. Wait! One way or the other, we'll eventually agree. Alright, my dear friend! Please! The lice are the Germans, because they bite, eat and get killed without resistance - just like the Swiss. The fleas are the French, who jump and hop but never stay put. On the other hand, they leave their mark wherever they go, and you think you can spot them almost everywhere. Yet, they are not there. The crabs are the Spaniards, who hole up so effectively that you can only dig them up bit by bit. The bugs are the Italians, who pollute the world with their innovative dances and fanciful boasts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------The love of a whore and the laugh of a dog, if you don't own it, nothing is of value anymore. The whoremonger's prey, the flesh of a whore. If the masters are sewing and whores knitting, Business is bad in your city. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------VIRGILE. Why is it that we fart when we pee? --------------APHRODISÉE. Hey, you poor little doctors, you always want to find reasons for things that don't matter! I'm so sorry for you! Always remember this maxim: without wind there is nothing. -------------------------------------------She opens her buttocks and lets off a fart from hell. ----------------------------------------BRENTIUS. How is it that if you call a man an 'idiot', he considers himself a cuckold? And why does a woman think she's a whore if you call her a 'fart'? --------------------------------------------Every man whose wife farts while having sex is a lucky man. --------------------------------pet-en-gueule = (lit) 'farting into the mouth' (Translator's note) Curious, he asked the mistress whether it was really she herself giving off such fragrant wind, because normally a French lady who blew a fart would stink to high heaven.------------FIN ------- Copyrighted material------------------------------------An acclaimed French novel to woo English readers - not for the faint-heartedTHE WAY TO SUCCEED by Béroalde de Verville (1610) Bengelmann Verlag, an independent German publisher, proudly announces the first unabridged, uncensored English translation of Béroalde de Verville's burlesque novel LE MOYEN DE PARVENIR.
