African nation to make farting illegal |
|
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1351174/African-country-set-make-breaking-wind-crime.htmlBreaking wind is set to be made a crime in an African country.
The government of Malawi plan to punish persistent offenders 'who foul the air' in a bid to 'mould responsible and disciplined citizens.'
But locals fear that pinning responsibility on the crime will be difficult - and may lead to miscarriages of justice as 'criminals' attempt to blame others for their offence.

11. I've heard this as an OLD joke, but I like to believe this actually happened with my friend. Karl. |
|
. . . Karl got onto a German bus while relatively intoxicated and passed some audible (and nasty) gas. . . He turned to the old woman sitting next to him and said, "That's right... look at me in disgust and they'll think that I did it. . . :rofl: . . .

He who smelt it, dealt it.
He who denied it, supplied it.

20. Fart jokes are in bad taste, but what the hell |
|
A guy was in a restaurant with his pretty date, and cut a serious one while the waiter was taking their order.
Guy looked at the waiter and said, "now, stop that!"
Waiter looked at the guy and said, "certainly, sir. Which way did it go?"
