Who Cut The Cheese?
Category: Current Events, HumorHere’s one for the YGBSM (pardon the pun) record books. Just when you think you’ve seen and heard everything there is to see and hear; along comes a twelve year old boy who gets himself arrested for deliberately farting in class. I ask, since when is farting in class a crime? If that were the case, most of my childhood buds would be doing twenty to life and several would be on death row. Good grief, the kid had to fart and let’s be honest here…90% of the farting experience is smelling it. Where are the slimball lawyers from the ACLU when you really need them?
12-year-old charged after deliberately “breaking wind” in class
NOVEMBER 21–A 12-year-old Florida student was arrested earlier this month after he “deliberately passed gas to disrupt the class,” according to police. The child, who was also accused of shutting off the computers of classmates at Stuart’s Spectrum Jr./Sr. High School, was busted November 4 for disruption of a school function. A Martin County Sheriff’s Office report, a copy of which you’ll find below, notes that the 4′ 11″ offender admitted that he “continually disrupted his classroom environment by breaking wind and shutting off several computers.” The boy, whose name was redacted from the police report released today, was turned over to his mother following the arrest. The young perp turned 13 on November 15. <more>

Something stinks about that story!!! LOL
I agree Dale…it smells pretty crappy to me.
I did hear about this on a radio show. I’m glad you “cleared the air” on this. On these standards I am, or would be, a convicted perp. There was one incident in eighth grade where I literally cleared the room.
Steady Teddy…I seem to recall that moment in Miss Paulson’s 5th period reading class at Westminster Junior High School in Millcreek. It was a dandy.
I told my wife about this story and now she is very worried. She wonders if my grandson could be an accomplice for pulling my finger. ????
Does this problem with flatulance have anything to do with Global Warming?
Hillman,
I bet you didn’t fart in class and shut off the computers.
I bet the real offense was farting loudly, not merely farting.
Seriously, this kid sounds like a handful. He might need Ritalin, or just several liberal applications of the Board of Education to the seat of knowledge, if you get my drift.
Dan,
You make a good point about the youthful fart perpetrator needing a good thrashing but an arrest seems a tad harsh.
Your also correct about me not farting in class and turning off the computers because there were no such things. The closest thing we had to a computer was counting on our fingers or a slide rule. Those were the good old days when we started the day with the Lords Prayer and pledged allegiance to our flag in the morning. They were also the days before teacher’s unions and political correctness dictated by liberal school board members destroyed the entire education system in our country.
