Answer: The BFG

Answer: Benjamin Franklin

The essay, titled "Fart Proudly" was written by Franklin to highlight the pretentious attitude held by many of Europe's academic societies, and included Franklin's proposal that a drug should be made which would make farts, "not only inoffensive, but agreeable as Perfumes".
The essay is available in the collection, "Fart Proudly: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School" (2003), which also includes the illuminating essay, "On Choosing a Mistress".

Answer: Soccer

The full name of this club is Fotballaget Fart, which translates as "the football team with speed", fart being a Norwegian word meaning speed. The club is best known for the successes of its women's team, but Thorstein Helstad who won 38 international caps for Norway started his career at the club, before going on to play for Rosenborg and Brann, also from Norway, and Le Mans and Monaco of France.

As he retired from football in 2015, I guess that makes him an old fart?

Answer: A Farting Dog

"Walter The Farting Dog" was first published in 2001 and has sold almost two million copies in hardback alone. The book was so successful that Kotzwinkle and Murray wrote a follow up in 2004, "Walter the Farting Dog Farts Again" and have written three more in the series since then.

Answer: Billy Connolly

Elton liked to help UK talent achieve success in USA when possible, and with this in mind, he invited Billy "Big Yin" Connolly to open for him on his American tour. Unfortunately, the move didn't go over too well as Connolly's already strong Glaswegian accent became stronger due to his nervousness making him largely unintelligible to the American audiences.
Luckily, Connolly wasn't put off and did go on to find a level of success and even love in North America.
He uttered his now well known quote, whilst appearing on "Parkinson" which ran from 1971 to 2007 and regularly attracted over ten million viewers.

Answer: 7th Dalai Lama

The seventh Dalai Lama, born Kelzang Gyatso, showed an aptitude for profound wisdom as a child and was enthroned as Dalai Lama in 1721, aged 13.
He is not the only Dalai Lama to talk about farts, as in 2013, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, in an interview in which he described himself as simply one of seven billion human beings, told a story about how he looks round before lifting his butt cheek to fart while on a plane.

Answer: Peppermint Tea

Staying hydrated cuts down the chances of being constipated, which leads to excess gas. If a stool remains in your gut, through being constipated, it will continue to ferment, producing extra gas that manifests itself in particularly bad smelling farts.

Fizzy drinks contain a lot of gas, leading to much farting and burping. What goes in must come out right?

The NHS in UK recommend drinking peppermint tea with meals as this aids digestion, which helps cut down on the number of farts emitted and means the ones that do escape will have a more pleasant odour.
