The Art of Hand Farting
April 7th, 2007 by ben
Remember hand and armpit farting when you were a kid? I could only muster a couple notes in the pool with my hands, and a nice slurpy disco beat with my pits. Nothing like Gerry Phillips, a seasoned hand farter who’s been perfecting his technique for over 37 years. This guy is amazing:

Wow, I just caught myself singing along to a guy farting with his hands. This next video really highlights his talent – Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring, at about four times actual tempo:

Incredible. If J. S. Bach was still alive, I think he might actually be proud of that performance. I wonder if Gerry plays along with his hands at church?
Moving to armpits, it turns out that quality armpit farters are in short supply. This ridiculous Afghani appears to be the best around:

There must be better armpit farters, right? If not, I’m going to start practicing … I’ve always wanted to be the best in the world at something.

Ben – “hand farting” is technically called manualism. Surprisingly, some manualists appear to take it pretty seriously, although the guy in the video seems like he wouldn’t be offended.
BTW, I’d love to see you out-armpit-fart that Afghan guy. You might need to shave your pits first to get better pitch control.
I’m slow in catching on, but are you new to posting here Ben? I always assumed it was just Anita.
Maybe Anita heard your arm farting and couldn’t resist any longer?
In any event, Happy Easter and/or Passover and/or whatever.
Hey Dan – I’ve been posting here a while, but have been helping Anita out a little more lately. BTW – sorry to hear about your alient abduction
Wow… you mean there is actually a name for that practice. Some people have way too much time on their hands. Not that I should speak, I visit way too many blogs daily which ranks me right along side them

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEewwwwwwww..
I told the witch doctor……
The Afghani is pretty entertaining!
I am thinking my 8 year old son could give the Afghani a run for his money. He has mastered his armpits and his knee pits (what he calls the back of his knees)
His father and I are so proud. (wiping imaginary tear away)
That first guy is unbelievable.
Now I am trying unsuccessfully to make fart noises with my hand. I am such a loser.

Boy that was one of the funnies things i’ve ever seen!!! I stumbled onto your website, and I’ve shared it with all my friends, it’s all good!
Thanks for the laughs!

Doubt I’ll ever achieve the skill displayed by Gerry; my hands are usually too dry to get much sound out. But my kids know to look out when we’re at the pool or lake. I can shoot a stream of water with my hands about 20 feet! Guess I shouldn’t brag; Gerry could probably imitate one of those fancy pulsing fountains with his.
That Afghani is pretty entertaining to watch. Don’t think I’d want to shake his hand after a performance though!
