Police hunt farting dissident

[Lautremont]

Police in Poland have launched a nationwide hunt for a man who farted loudly when asked what he thought of the president.

Hubert Hoffman, 45, was charged with "contempt for the office of the head of state" for his actions after he was stopped by police in a routine check at a Warsaw railway station.

When told to show more respect for the country's rulers, he farted loudly and was promptly arrested.

7. He's still at large. Maybe the police should follow their nose.

Although last Tuesday the American public did their best to throw Polish police off his scent by themselves farting loudly at their president.
