Tran and the Farts

Tran and the Farts

Ok I have gotten tired of not finding ascii art farts here.  So I am 
going to start running the following script at 10 after midnight EST
each day.  This will post the most current ascii art fart to the group.
If you don't want to see them then use your killfile and block out the
subject of "assci art fart" and you won't have to see them or any replies.
