Student Suspended for Farting On Bus!

Too bad he didn't have a dog with him. They're perfect for pointing the finger at.But seriously. Suspended? Sometimes you just have to blow.
Whether he did it or not, he might have gotten off easy. A 13-year-old student at a Stuart school was arrested in November after authorities said he broke wind in class.This is absolutely ridiculous. Instead of punishing the person who farts, punish the kids who laugh about it. They're the ones causing a disturbance. It's extremely rude to bring attention to someone's fart. Of course, if one feels a need to pass gas in public, on should try to make it quite or stop it because it is nasty, but it's not always possible to prevent gas passage.
My wife was standing behind me as I read this story and it sent her into a little tirade about the kid doing that just to cause trouble. Heh...disgruntled teachers...The video mentions that this is an alternative state school. I would think an incident like this would be the least of their worries.
*whispers* Psst...hey Lori... http://www.beanogas.com/
Heh. I don't know, though, Sandi, sometimes trying not to laugh at a fart causes me physical pain...I can't help it! I can't help it! I try!
The only reason I can think of for suspending the student is if he was farting on purpose. Is a fart of that volume even possible to do on purpose?
They need to read Benjamin Franklin's book, Fart Proudly Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School.
There's also a great section in Roald Dahl's "Boy" about a teacher who claims he smells a fart and all the boys have to help him clear out the room's air...
RA, i'm really glad they didn't arrest kids for disruptive farting when we were young. Both my nephew and I would probably be on Death Row right now...
Hey, whose the one who really needs the beano!Can one even fart on purpose? This is a talent I don't have. Alas.
Yes. One can fart on purpose, but maybe not at every moment. The conditions have to be optimal. Yes. Many of us have practiced extensively.
My Husbands favorite saying when he passes gas in mixed company.... Did you hear what that asshole said behind my back, He's just talking shit!Oh and TAZ got a 2 day suspension for burping Although she did yell damn that felt good.
When I was in Junior High, a substitute sent a kid to the office after farting, saying "I saw the look on your face when you did it; you were trying to disrupt the class room." I think that's what she said, anyway. I had about fallen out of my desk laughing by that point. Unfortunately the farter's last name was Windley, so it was incredibly easy to nickname him "Windy", an appelation which, as far as I know, follows him to this day.
Wait, is this Deleted Member a different one than Maurice?I'm confused...

Does anyone remember Moe? She used all lowercase type too, but she would reappear now and then as "deleted member" so I often wonder if she's back. She's not Autumnal Elizabeth, is she?
I don't remember Moe. I remember Boreal Elizabeth nee Autumnal Elizabeth because she was from San Diego.
Poor, poor Windy. I am so glad my name can't be turned into something like that.
uh...Stoolie.i was that kid in school who made nicknames up
Stoolie!!That's kinda funny, but strange...
Please don't start calling me Stoolie.
Okay, when I just wrote that it made me laugh.
I evidently have the sense of humor of an eight year old boy.

I think quite a few of us on here do.

Sorry, I'm not Maurice - I don't know who that is. I'm just a guy who gets a kick out of using a confusing name online.

This goes to show how much power an avatar has over my perception of you. (I mean all of you, not just Deleted Member and Maurice.)
I always thought "Deleted Member" sounded like some sort of eunuch. Or John Wayne Bobbitt.

"It wasn't even me," Locke told The Ledger newspaper. "It was a kid who sits in front of me."
I love the denial. Classic.
