The relationship between flatulance (botty-burps) and high fibre foodstuffs, e.g.beans, has long been recognised. So the joker uses the euphamism `talks' in replacement for the noise of a fart. Furthermore, the fact that the gases emerge on the posterior surface of your body only serves to accentuate the joke. See the beans make you fart (unconfirmed) and the noise comes out behind you, so the beans are said to be `talking' Thus humour is acheived. Even so, one has to postulate whether talking has to be associated with some form of communication. Perhaps some lifeforms can understands the Chuff-chatter that emerges from our behinds. If so, I hope they weren't listening last night in bed. Yours, The EXPLAINOR -- This is my signature, hahahahaha
