2nd-hand flatulence prompts new butts-out policy
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | March 26, 2007

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."

"Public farters are a huge problem where I live."
You are absolutely correct. They should be privatized, as everyone knows that private farters are more efficient and deliver WAY more bang for the buck.

In that case it was reasonable and called for. I apologize for second guessing you.

And with way less sh*t.

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

You do if you're a sadistic bitch like me . . . but I've said too much.

Yes, but they might have let him stay if he were as adorable as we are.

But Nick's, on the other hand, encourages that sort of thing. ;-)

My boss gave me this piece of wisdom just the other day -

Never trust a fart. You never know what you’re going to get along with it!
