"Great editing! I was very lucky to find Mr. George Verongos and be accepted as one of his clients. His insights took my work to a much higher level than I could have gained on my own. Thanks, George!"

The invention of an anti-diarrheal medication prompts a business interest to try and control the constipation market. The medical counsel for the drug (Nogo) discovers a peculiar lettuce which induces the Holy Grail of gastroenterology-- anophonia. The lettuce is grown by a bizarre cult in Mexico and the leader of this cult is a beautiful and mysterious woman. She imprisons two unlikely heroes, and from deep within the bowels of their mind, they develop powers of gas reading. "Most people don't realize it, but they are constantly emitting a very slow yet continuous stream of gas. They are only aware of the occasional bursts, but there is a river of gas flowing from them, a fountain from everyone, and this bubbling brook reflects their thoughts, informs them, and becomes them." Freedom Farters take sides against Nogo makers and Lucinda Skie holds the secret to it all. "You may say I'm a farter, but I'm not the only one."
