Where I work we have a carbon-neutral policy, and are required to collect a large pink balloon first thing in the morning, attach it to our arses, and inflate it with fart gasses throughout the day. At home-time it's collected by someone from facilities management, and the contents are used to power the building the following day. Except after a curry evening, and for vegetarians, it's proved next to impossible to generate enough wind by fart-power alone, so many people just fill them with the guff that comes out during management meetings. Occasionally one escapes and bounces Rover-like through the West End of London, causing all sorts of nervousness.
