Verbal Flatulence

Ok, I know I'm supposed to be off the blog for a while but I just could not resist this one.

Malawi row over whether new law bans farting


Two of Malawi's most senior judicial officials are arguing over whether a new bill includes a provision that outlaws breaking wind in public.

Justice Minister George Chaponda says the new bill would criminalise flatulence to promote "public decency".

I really hope they don't follow through with this law.

However, he was directly contradicted by Solicitor General Anthony Kamanga, who says the reference to "fouling the air" means pollution.

There may be a lot of trumped up charges coming.
The Local Courts Bill, to be introduced next week reads: "Any person who vitiates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the public to the health of persons in general dwelling or carrying on business in the neighbourhood or passing along a public way shall be guilty of a misdemeanour."

Mr Chaponda, a trained lawyer, insists that this includes farting.

You really can't make this shit up. Squeeze cheese in public and expect a fine from the Bottom Burp Bobbies.
"Just go to the toilet when you feel like farting," he told local radio.

Come on, British fake charities. There must be some funding mileage in this one.

FFS!
