Newsflash!
I found an important news item in today’s paper, and I wanted to make my three faithful readers aware of it.
Now, let me say at first I was certain this was local news, because it just kinda sounds like something that would appear in our paper. But no, this comes all the way from West Virginia!
A man was apparently arrested and charged with battery on a police officer. No light crime, there.
So how did he attack this officer?
He farted at him. And then fanned the odor in the officer’s direction.
My college friends are rolling their eyes, because they know that even now at the age of forty-two, I find farting to be funny. Maybe it is the presence of four boys in my home, I don’t know.
But I will say that this has given me a whole new line of conversation with my kids, and the lesson bears repeating on here. None of my faithful readers can claim that they weren’t warned.
Whatever you do, never fart at a police officer.

You were most correct…I did roll my eyes…I just don’t get your love of bodily-function humor, but I still love you!

Admit it, Rutatita. You would have found humor if that article had been in YOUR newspaper!

Maybe it’s just having a lot of kids, cuz I think it’s hilarious. And before I even pulled up your blog, I just saw the headline on my google reader and I knew what you were going to say. LOL I saw your comment on facebook and then heard the story on K Love.

I was posting a comment about my hubbie and farts, but do to his loooooong pause upon reading it, it is gone. Loved the blog though.

I didn’t say it wasn’t funny. It IS funny, but it is also gross. What do you expect…I grew up with four older sisters.

Rutatita, Loosen up, or I’ll have one of my boys fart at YOU at Homecoming! Hahaha!

Hey, who do you think has sent you at least 2 farting-related birthday cards??? That is well out of my comfort zone. So, don’t be telling me to loosen up, missy. I’m loose as a goose.
