Since this Scrabble ad is asking the question, I’ll answer it. For starters, you get points for farting during farting contests. You get points for farting in the Boy Scouts, which I’m told have an unsanctioned yet elaborate scoring system in place. You don’t get points for farting in the Wing Bowl, but you probably should. And lots of people are getting points, in the form of cash, from selling farting-related merchandise online. Certainly makes me appreciate the innocence of a bawdy game of Scrabble, that’s for sure.
