Farting on cue: Roland might be the perfect mascot for New Albany's Break Wind Lofts at Duggins Flats.

In New Albany, professional flatulence is alive, well and residing in the very bowels of the economic dishevelment department.

Seriously, the "luxury" apartments at the Coyle site will be called The Breakwater. No, really.

Flaherty and Collins kicks off Break Wind Flats with a boffo map fail.

What's missing is Roland's commitment to craftsmanship. In olden times, they really had to be good at what they did ... or their heads went merrily rolling.

THE TRUE STORY OF ROLAND THE FARTER, AND HOW THE INTERNET KILLED PROFESSIONAL FLATULENCE, by Linda Rodriguez (Atlas Obscura)

Roland, court minstrel to 12th century English king Henry II, probably had many talents.

But history has recorded only one.

Referred to variously Rowland le Sarcere, Roland le Fartere, Roland le Petour, and Roland the Farter, Roland really had one job in the court: Every Christmas, during the court’s riotous pageant, he performed a dance that ended with “one jump, one whistle, and one fart”, executed simultaneously.

For this, Roland was gifted a manor house in Hemingstone, Suffolk, and more than 100 acres of land.

For farting on cue ...
