How Could I Resist This Challenge - Updated Collaboration With Rob Bettridge

Little Susie had peed her new pants Such an unfortunate circumstance In front of her mother She blushed a red colour … Then invented the ‘Wet knickers’ dance! Mum's reaction to this was not cool As Sue pranced around like a fool To add to her woe More started to flow Down her leg and formed into a Pool Susie knew right away, she was Toast With her face turning pale as a ghost When the Cork in her ass Shot out with the gas And Mother got blasted the most Desperately needing a breath of fresh air We ran out of the house in a state of despair It is far from a joke To splutter and choke On a stench that melts noses and frizzles our hair In disgrace, she stomped off to the shed Where a cunning plan entered her head Her gas mask condition Needed stiff competition So she's joined a Bad Ass Commune instead Sue was accepted as one of the troupe After she curdled Cow’s milk into soup And once it was dark She thought it a lark To 'Blue Flame' her gas for the group In a national contest for which she was keen She entered to take on the best there has been But to Susie’s surprise They gave the Top Prize To a bloke farting 'God Save The Queen' 'Porton Down' is off limits so no one can see The 'Boffins' who work in white coats, secretly MI6 sniffed around And Susie was found Then Pressed into service as their new WMD Collaboration with Rob Bettridge

I think I saw such a contest late one night and filmed in England. Contestants bend for a tube that they' blow' into and as the tube fills, the gas collects somewhere. I swear! Can you believe all entrants were men? This is extremely clever and love the format consistency. You both rock .... CayCay

Just had a mental image of the inside of a full Mosque of blokes in the 'Head down - Ass up' position. The front Row (Imo) would be the best place to be.
