Are you a Bum Puffer?

Grandad October 4th, 2007

A couple of weeks ago, I got chatting to a bloke.

He asked me if I was a Bum Puffer.

To cut a long story short, he’s making good progress.

He can now feed through a tube through what’s left of his jaw. They managed to remove his right leg from his rectum and sew it back on. And they are hopeful that they will find his arms somewhere.

But this got me thinking. What exactly is a Bum Puffer?

I did a search on the Interweb and came up with nothing. I even tried the Urban Slang sites. I tried Gay sites. Not a mention. I tried sites about flatulence. Rien. Nada.

Then a nice chap contacted me from Australia. He explained. Thanks Rohan.

Apparently Bum Puffing is the act of smoking without inhaling. That’s all. Trust the Australians to make something simple sound crude.

So I am a Bum Puffer. I’m Bum Puffing as I write.

I feel bad now. I suppose I had better visit that bloke and apologise.

I’ll bring him some grapes.

I’ll liquidise them first.
