I've just discovered something quite remarkable about Seymour.
If I'm doing my math correctly, Seymour gets a whopping compensation of $2.90 per ml of flatulence production.
That's assuming he produces the median amount of 704 ml per day [1].
Converting milliliters to gallons, that's almost $11,000.00 per gallon!!!
That's hard to believe. Maybe someone will confirm my calculations.
