Subject: RE: BS: Flatulence Tax
RE 'Blow the winds southerly' ~ this was the song my grandfather (fathers' stepfather) would quote, to herald a blast from the posterior foghorn. It just seemed fitting.
I'm not having a go at Anti Podes, just one incomer. And Spaw, but he expects it.
And as I work for HM Government, how can I say that any tax is a bad thing (unless of course, they try to make it affect me)?!
How would one pay? A blanket charge, or does someone go round counting individual botty burps? Do they choose one animal and take a count over a given period of time, thus calculating a mean output for each animal? Are there sensors in each field assessing the amount of methane in the atmosphere?
