Toot
Have you guys read about the success of the Walter the Farting Dog books? I'm intrigued.

The article about it cracks me up. This portion explains the plot of one of the books, Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale:

The ridiculous plot goes thusly: A man buys Walter from his olfactorily tortured master for $10 at a garage sale and harnesses the dog's formidable tooting talents for evil. Walter, having been attached to a "fart-catcher," is force-fed beans (the musical fruit) and made to fill balloons with his noxious fumes, thus creating near-lethal weapons to be strategically deployed via pin-popping during the course of a bank robbery. Walter, a friendly and charitable pooch, is hugely dismayed by his predicament. Not to worry, though. In the end, all's resolved and he returns home a hero, ready to fart again (and again and again) in his forthcoming third romp, Rough Weather Ahead.
