Boys and Girls, you should ALWAYS practice Safe Fart Ignition (SFI). Here's how:
1. Fill bathtub or kiddie pool with water. Use a temperature that is comfortable to you and which will help you relax and fart more easily.
2. Settle down into the tub or pool for a leisurely soak. If in public, wear a swimsuit for modesty.
3. Fire up your sphincter with gaseous elements.
4. Light a match and hold it just above the water, positioned directly over your anus.
5. Let one rip.
6. As the fart bubble surfaces and pops, make sure the match is there to meet it. The gas will ignite and you'll get a nice flare.
7. Repeat as desired and able.
CAUTION: When lighting fart bubbles, keep your face and head away from the area over the lit match. Always sit with your head and shoulders back, and do not hunch over the ignition area.
If you follow instructions, you will be able to light farts to your heart's (and fart's) content without the danger of burning or singeing yourself.
