Never fart in the presence of a muslim, especially while he’s making love to his goat.

Then the Marines should also ban showers and deodorant so they can blend in with the muzzies.

Our troops will just have to resort to the “silent but violent” approach to flatulence, and impose the “whoever smelt it dealt it” blame game to their Afghan co-horts.

The Afghans really love their “dancing boy” sex slaves.

What would the charge be for violating this horsesh*t directive?

Inappropriate expulsion of noxious gases in the presence of Muslims?

Disrespectful farting in a host country?

Unfuc*ing believable!!

I’d make up for it by peeing in the hummus.

“No doubt we’ll next get orders to cease cursing”

Already in effect:

http://militarytimes.com/blogs/battle-rattle/2011/08/23/for-marines-in-afghanistan-be-careful-where-you-fart/

“They’re not supposed to cuss because it could be misunderstood (that one goes out the window a lot). And they stay away from talking about politics, religion or girls because those topics could escalate into major disagreements (they can’t communicate anyway because of the language barrier).

But farting? That’s practically a sport. Ok, it’s not soccer, but a good contest could open the door for cross-cultural exchanges, jokes and other gallows humor.

So, for all Marines getting ready to go downwind, I mean downrange, be forewarned — you may have to hold it in… at least until you get back to your hooch where you can loudly crop dust your friends.”

Please read Comment #18 - a worthy list

Only response I can have is one from The Day:

SORRY ABOUT THAT

(And you can visit with another of the Brothers to get the unabridged translation to that one. Don’t feel like getting banned over BS like this.)
