NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said.

The Dallas-bound flight was diverted to Nashville after several passengers reported smelling burning sulfur from the matches, said Lynne Lowrance, spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority. All 99 passengers and five crew members were taken off and screened while the plane was searched and luggage was screened.

The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal a "body odor," Lowrance said. She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said.

"It's humorous in a way but you feel sorry for the individual, as well," she said. "It's unusual that someone would go to those measures to cover it up."

Being on that plane was the experience of a lifetime. It was a Jurassic Fart.

Tell me that's a shopjob. There are twin jets, for pete's sake, and even I know that's a physical impossibility.

What I use to do was wait until my daughter had her friends in the car, roll up all the windows, lock the windows from my parental control switch, then let it rip.

Now whenever anyone rolls up a car window, her eyes water automatically.

Maybe a shopjob, but I did not do it. ;)

I have a feeling you'd like to be part of our ultra-exclusive "Poot Ping List"...what say you, Lady?

[ErnBatavia]

When you make a similar move in bed - such as pulling the blanket up over the wife's head at the moment of release - it's known as the "Dutch Oven Maneuver"...

[Lady Jag]

Definitely I'd like to join you Poot Pingers. I'd fart in perfectly.

She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said.

Also known as a beef and bean buritto overload.

If you didn't have a daughter, I'd ask if you're my aunt. I'd swear she saved them all for me.
