    While reading your nonsensical comment, something odd occurred; I farted out of my very own asshole! It came as a shock to me because it was my asshole and not someone else's. How could such a strange thing happen to an esteemed individual such as myself? I pondered this for a moment, and then it dawned on me: I shot a fart out of my own asshole because your comment is absolute garbage.
