Hong Kong - A primary school in China is fining pupils five yuan each time they fart in class, a news report said on Friday.

Hu Zhuang Elementary School in Beijing has begun imposing the fines as part of a crackdown on bad hygiene habits in the wake of the Sars outbreak, according to the South China Morning Post.

No one has been fined so far at the school which has also introduced rules banning pupils from dropping litter or coughing without covering their mouths.

I have one of those that has a variable timer instead of a remote control. My sweet little two year old daughter thinks its the funniest thing in the world :)

I laughed so hard I farted, really. It is still around...

It is? Dang! Must have had some onions with those black-eyed peas. Hot-water cornbread, too.

Remind me to stay away from you if your's last this long.

My girlfriend says its not the smell so much that bothers her as when it burns her eyes.

[HairOfTheDog]

Egads.... I am so sorry for her!

I'm not so sure it is a "guy thing" - only because I have a 5 year old daughter who is totally enamored with this kind of stuff.

she was playing outside when I played one of the links!!!!

Outlaw farting and only outlaws will fart.....

OK, I've resisted this thread for two days, but cannot resist asking.....

Will fart police result in fart lawyers?

[Texaggie79]

What you or your butt say can, and will be held against you in a court of law.....

I sent three of 'em out for Christmas presents three or four years ago. There were big hits; maybe it's just my crowd, though...

My sister got one of those for her college graduation. It was what she really wanted. We had a blast with it (bad pun intended.)

Whoopee cushions have also always been a big hit with my family. :)

One of the recipients of my largesse (in Chicago) claims to use his in restaurants for those occasional informal business lunches....I don't do that, because I have couth.

Farting runs in my family; in fact, it's a tradition...ballet, church, intimate restaurant...you name it, and my siblings (and me) have destroyed it! Woo Hoo! I am an older "non-traditional" student who graduated last year at the ripe ol' age of 35 and my greatest gift was a "remote controlled fart machine". My sister has posted about this...for that to be outlawed or fined would drive our family into financial ruin; you see, we have a "gifted" other sister who can fart at will...let's send her over there with the proud American flag! (of flatuence). Along with tobacco and food suits, are we now going to get sued for farting? They are already complaining about cow-farts in some parts of the world. Let's just give the Muslims butt-plugs and save the environment!

[ErnBatavia]

I like your family's style!
