Farts are funny, there's no denying it but are they lucrative? A Utah woman has carefully placed her flatus in a glass jar and listed the smelly sample on eBay.

The item, described here if you don't believe us, hasn't received much attention. It's not about the money, claimed seller kbug1978:

"Okay so here is the story. I joined the gym and started to eat right. Well apparently my body is not used to the "Healthy Food" that its been given and is giving me some pretty harsh smelling gas. You know the ones that kind of burn when they come out. Well, I farted by my brother and it made him literally sick. He said I should "Sell That Sh*t" So I decided to take his word for it. I have been doing research on the best ways to fart in a container and have the smell be just as potent as a fresh fart. So not to give you all my details it starts in the tub. That way I am able to capture a fairly pure fart uncontaminated by atmospheric air. So if you want a REAL gag gift....this would be great! ( I have tested farts up to two weeks and they are still 100% potent as the first fart) When you purchase the Fart In a Jar, I will also be sending a picture of myself! Thanks for looking....Have a great day."

If she had done proper research, she could have sold a jar of farts and charged a premium.

As of press time, the singular fart in a jar has received just two bids, topping out at $2.50. If you bid on the item and win, please drop us a line in the comments; we have some questions for you. The first being 'what the hell is wrong with you?'
