Sayonara Mr. Methane

A cure for flatulence is being touted in the news. In my years of infiltrating the male dominated world of engineering I've found that humour centers mostly around farting and poop so half of the joke material will vanish if this cure really works. Will Mr. Methane be able to claim hardship in the face of this cure for his livelihood? Will the company that makes Beano file for Chapter 11? Aren't there more pressing problems to cure in the world than a little gas?
