However, over the next few days, every time he farted, it would do the same thing - "HONDA". Becoming concerned, he visited his family doctor. The doctor couldn't explain it, and gave him a referral to another doctor, who also was at a loss. From one doctor to another he went, seeking an explanation for the strange sound being made by his wind. Eventually, he visits a doctor who happened to be Chinese. The man explained to the doctor that whenever he let one off, it made that strange sound. The doctor asked for a demonstration, and sure enough - "HONDA".

The man once more passed wind, and was elated to find that it was back to its normal sound. He turned to the doctor, saw the abscess that had been cut off, and asked "That's amazing, doc. Why was it happening?" The doctor shrugged and said "Everybody knows {{spoiler|Abscess makes the fart go Honda}}".}}

** Gustavo Díaz-Ordaz was president of Mexico during the [[wikipedia:Tlatelolco Massacre|Tlatelolco Massacre]]. As a result, many people ended up hating him.

The youth, still angry for the massacre, created a verse: "Al pueblo de España no le manden esa araña" ("Don't send the people of Spain that spider").
