OCTOBER 2--A Pennsylvania man was fired from his job at a pork roll producer due to extreme flatulence brought on by gastric bypass surgery, according to a discrimination lawsuit filed by the man’s wife.
In a federal complaint, Louann Clem, 59, charges that the Case Pork Roll Company terminated her husband Richard, 70, last year after the Trenton, New Jersey firm’s president frequently complained about her spouse’s condition.
Louann Clem, who also worked for the company, said that her husband--who weighed 420 pounds--underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2010. “As a result of the surgery, Mr. Clem suffered side effects such as extreme gas and uncontrollable diarrhea,” the lawsuit notes.
As her husband’s symptoms worsened, Clem says, a “significant disruption in the workplace” occurred.

A co-worker deserves hazard pay.

Didn't Volkswagen come up with something like that years ago? ie, "Fahrvergnugen". Isn't that the German word for fart-powered? LoL!
My mom, who is an RN, said that some years ago the hospital where she works finally had to fire a Muslim immigrant orderly because he never took a bath or used deodorant. You could smell him coming a mile off. They warned and warned him about taking a bath, but he ignored them
That Volkswagen chief did get the boot a few weeks ago, and it did have something to do with auto emissions...
