I know, I know this is not what one call breaking news, but in a way it is a breaking story for the FFA (fee flatulence assn)

[zeromus]

uhm. i can think of a lot of natural body functions that have been criminalized, depending on where you do it.

[Michael Barnes]

yeah..something was breaking with the story...breaking wind

[mgc1122]

It was either that or explode I guess ... LOL!

[A CA Guy]

Don't want to be down wind when this gets out! LOL

[headsonpikes]

I disagree; if this isn't 'breaking news', nothing is.

[pabianice]

They wouldn't have been able to produce evidence, anyway...

[snopercod]

Something smells about this verdict...

[Libertina]

Thank goodness, or we'd all be in trouble! LOL

[mo'shea]

I believe that the police officer who arrested Mr. Grixti pulled the latter's finger immediately prior to the incident, so he's the one who should have been charged, at least as an accessory.

[Poohbah]

But it IS breaking news...in a sense...

[lovecraft]

If he didn't sh!t - you must acquit!!!!

[verity]

"David Grixti had been fined $200, the equivalent of £71, by a court in June."

Under the old British monetary system, this would have been equivalent to 80,000 farthings. lol

[Redcloak]

I am relieved to learn this.

[Brett66]

Well I hope he produced a thank-you fart for the judge on his way out of the court room.

[CheneyChick]

Are they sure it wasn't a barking spider?

[small voice in the wilderness]

The man got his chance to air his grievances. Let it go..My question is: How would the court reporter go about recording this? phffffftttttt???

[RikaStrom]

I think I am more concerned that the poor man was arrested for flatulence in the first place.

(giggling uncontrollably)

I'm afraid the FDA (Flatulence Detective Agency) were hot on the tail.

[Teacher317]

The puns are getting cheesy. Better cut it out.

[Chemist_Geek]

Is it Friday already?

Depending upon the intensity of the flatus, if Australian law can't handle it, maybe the Chemical Weapons Convention comes into play...

My mother always told us " Better out and have a frolic than in and have the colic."

A couple years ago my nephew and his wife had their first baby. This baby cried all the time. When he was about 3 months old I asked how was the baby. My nephew replied. " He is just fine now and quite pleasant since he learned how to fart."
