Thread Name: Farting in Public
Subject: RE: Farting in Public
Several months ago a bloke here was taken to the local police station for questioning. He convinced the cops he was innocent and as he was leaving he let rip with a robust fart. The witnesses, the agrieved cops who hadn't been able to pin anything on the farter, said the fart was meant to mock them and immediately arrested him for "being obnoxious in a public place", or words to that effect.
The poor bloke was chucked in the slammer and, at his first trial, was found guilty and released with a hefty fine. This verdict was overturned on appeal with the judge telling the police to grow up as well as hitting them with the legal costs.
The irony is that it all took place in the town of Werribee, where the State's main sewerage farm is, and the aroma is most noticeable when driving through.
