06 Jun 01 - 11:45 AM (#477592) Subject: BS Gas not CS gas From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler I copy this story from BBC online without comment, knowing it will appeal to some of you (YOU KNOW WHO!). Police inquiry over breaking wind claim Eight detectives are to be questioned after complaints that one of them broke wind in front of a family during a raid. The Metropolitan Police said the complainant described the incident as rude and unprofessional. The male officers, who were carrying out a drugs search at an Essex home, will be interviewed by Scotland Yard's internal disciplinary body. The officers will also be questioned in relation to a complaint of assault. RtS ("Drop the gun, sonny, or the sargeant here will turn round and let one rip!")

Seems to me if I were in the middle of (especially the target of) a police raid, I would not be focused on counting farts. But even more amazing, the Yard is going to investigate the incident. I can just see some poor schmuck explaining to friends and family that he's on Flatulence Detail. So it was unprofessional, huh? What does a professional one sound and smell like? |

I would have been sued for laughing my ass off!!!! "....Well Sergeant, we can let it go that you damaged the door upon breaking into the residence, we can look the other way dealing with the fact that the door fell on one of the residents. We can even forget about the stiches to the owner's head, but when Jonsie here cut the cheese, did you have to fall down on the floor laughing?!?!? And did you have to wipe your tears on the good curtains?!?!?! huh?!?!?! Frank |

07 Jun 01 - 01:10 AM (#478139) Subject: RE: BS: BS Gas not CS gas From: paddymac The details not reported in the story make all the difference. IMHO, if it was a natural act with out fanfare, well, such things happen and are normally overlooked in polite society. If, however, it was "presented" with great fanfare, with some sort of an "in your face" attitude, then it is an entirely different matter which certainly does warrant discipline. |

Expert Witness "Well, Me Prosecutor, having examined PC Smiths underwear, I can definately say that he broke wind between, 10.00am, and 11.00am" Defense Lawyer (cross-examining) "But can you say with certainty, that this fart was the one in question?" There's definitely a script for a sketch here somewhere. Come back Monty Python, all is forgiven! |

A policeman, while being on a raid Did something that was not very kind. 'Twas something for which he isn't paid, He let go of a stinky sort of wind! It was not one fart, it was a pair. Now he is off duty, that's a fact, But this can be considered fair For he did break the Geneva act His victims are still slightly dazed, Of nothing else they are able to think By bad dreams they'll forever be chased Of the day when they were attacked by stink MudGuard (should I rename myself to MudFart?) |
