Scotland's ban on smoking in pubs has backfired, so to speak, on a regular customer whose constant habit of breaking wind has now resulted in his expulsion from his favorite watering hole.
Stewart Laidlaw, 35, is being barred from Thirsty Kirsty's in Dunfermline, Fife, for failing to control his flatulence.
"No one could smell anything when the pub was full of cigarette smoke," Laidlaw told Wales on Sunday. "I never used to complain about the smell of their cigarette smoke, but now everyone complains about me. It's just a natural thing. What can I do about it? I must be the first person in the country to get banned from a pub for passing wind. But it's not a title I want. I certainly don't see it as funny."

"I certainly don't see it as funny." Well, it is.

According to Yaroslav Hasek, one mr. Enom managed to pass the wind so energetically as to stop the pendulum on a grandfather clock. And since that time in his pub he was known as "fart Enom", but was not thrown out.

He should sue the bean industry.

I think Laura Ingraham missed a big opportunity not to have featured this story on her "power to the people" segment.
Then again, she may have. I scrounged up another FR thread on the plight of poor Mr. Laidlaw with a link to the original source:

Public farters are a huge problem where I live. You can't just go around blowing everyone else's hair back and not expect some outrage in return.

When you work in cubicle land, you DO NOT get the Bean Burrito Especial from Taco Bell for your lunch.

[flings up hand] ...guilty... [stares at floor] Remember that guy you left laying on the ground, his eyebrows singed, at the airport in Charlotte? It was me. Can't you eat some fennel seeds or put a cork in it or something? And what if there had been an open flame somewhere nearby? We might have all been killed.

And if you do you should be made to wear a charcoal lined diaper or something.

It was the dog. Honest.
OK, I don't actually own a dog...

That's cruel, the equivalent of dropping mustard gas on a jungle village.
