Fart Bucks

Fart bucks are the currency of the developing Fart based economy and replace the bartering system used by couples when issuing penalties for farting each other as a a large collection of low value gifts contributed to global environmental issues. The original penalty system required a gift of agreed value to be given to the victim by the assailant. I.e. if you a victim, you would be owed a gift valued at $10 by the farter. A rules based order was quickly established (i.e. a "No Fart Zone" is a defined 3D boundary around ones anus. If a fart is released with another in this zone (~20cm) , a fine is issued). Philosophers uncovered grey areas. "What if they are asleep?", "What if the farter can't move easily?" These difficult questions led to the formation of FCAT (Farting Civil and Administrative Tribunal) where one could apply for exemption permits, or where fines could be sought or challenged (i.e. when a victim is outside the agreed No Fart Zone, but physically feels the fart). Fart Bucks have a physical form, complete with a unique pictorial reference, the value of the note (i.e. $10FB) and the date of issue. Fart Bucks are saved in a Fart Bank (i.e. coin jar) and can be 'cashed in' for gifts. If your fart bank has $100FB, you are entitled to a gift of that value in the local currency. Fart Buck debt schemes (loaning fart bucks), trading schemes (trading fart bucks), currency schemes (currently Fart Bucks are pegged 1:1 to local currency) are all being investigated.
