Breaking 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.
One Malawian told the website Africanews.com: 'My goodness. What happens in a public place where a group is gathered. Do they lock up half a minibus?
'And how about at meetings where it is difficult to pinpoint 'culprits'?
'Children will openly deny having passed bad air and point at an elder. Culturally, this is very embarrassing,' she said.
Another said: 'We have serious issues affecting Malawians today. I do not know how fouling the air should take priority over regulating Chinese investments which do not employ locals, serious graft amongst legislators, especially those in the ruling party, and many more.'

"He who smelt it, dealt it."
Geez...it’s a third world country it probably smells like crap already...who’s gonna know
What kind of foreign aid are we sending these people, cans of hash?
Don’t forget the beans and hardboiled eggs.
That article is a real gas...
Gee. “A Mighty Wind” . . I guess a sorta unfortunate name for a group in retrospect . . . sorta like the little exclusive high school sorority from back in my day known then as “The GAY TEENS”. Now, I’m quite honestly THANKFUL I wasn’t asked to join; but then it felt sorta bad to be ignored and treated like I didn’t belong. (Funny they don’t mention it these days.) All hush hush. Bwahahahahahaha!
>>>He that smelled it ,dealt it.<<<
And whoever denied it, supplied it. :)
I sat next to the Duchess for tea.
It was just as I feared it would be.
Her rumblings abdominal,
Were something phenomenal,
And everyone thought it was me.
Don’t let Michelle hear about this. She will find more foods to regulate. No more chili served a school. Will probably cause a reduction in allowable vegetables over all.
Ah, the old "the smeller is the feller" defense.
Pelosi/ Obama and their progressive gang think this should be law here too I am sure.
