Flatulence can be a delightful thing (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gas

This clue is a double definition.

'flatulence' is the first definition.
(flatulence is gas from the body)

'a delightful thing' is the second definition.
(informal term for an amusing thing)

'can be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gas that I've seen before include "Eg, oxygen" , "Hydrogen or oxygen, say" , "could be embarrassing for American" , "Gossip" , "Neon, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
