If you lit a lighter near your butt just before you farted, would there really be a flame?

I've seen it in a few movies (dumb and dumber is hilarious)... does it work in real life? I can't really test it out cause, well, I don't have to let one rip just now.

Anyone with previous experience on the subject?

Of course there would be a flame before you farted provided the lighter has fluid and is working properly. If your question is, does methane gas burn, the answer is yes.

Yes! I used to have a funny as hell video clip of a guy catching his a$s on fire that way.

Farts are partially comprised of methane, so yes it will burn like there's no tomorrow.

Yes, my friend has done it many times, and it is the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life. The first time he did it, it came out as an orange mushroom-shaped flame. Then the immediate smell of burned ass-hair hits you. It truly is a priceless moment, I suggest you all find a friend crazy enough to do this.

It's especially fun when the flame goes up your ass into your fart pipes and you combust. Woo-fvcking-hoo. :)

My little brother used to do this. Was hysterical because he wore shorts around the house all the time (would change when he came in) so they were always old and worn out. Since they were so worn, they were covered in fuzzy things from general wear. When he would do it these little bastards would catch fire and leave his ass and crotch region flaming. Would burn out after a couple of seconds when those little furry things were burned up, but was amuzing as hell cause his eyes would always get real big, like he didnt expect it :D
