OMG I hear you scream!!! I subject close to many bikers....hearts..lol ------------------------------------------------------------- Two of Malawi's most senior judicial officials are arguing over whether a new bill includes a provision that outlaws breaking wind in public.Justice Minister George Chaponda says the new bill would criminalise flatulence to promote "public decency"."Just go to the toilet when you feel like farting," he told local radio.However, he was directly contradicted by Solicitor General Anthony Kamanga, who says the reference to "fouling the air" means pollution."How any reasonable or sensible person can construe the provision to criminalising farting in public is beyond me," he said, adding that the prohibition contained in the new law has been in place since 1929.The Local Courts Bill, to be introduced next week reads: "Any person who vitiates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the public to the health of persons in general dwelling or carrying on business in the neighbourhood or passing along a public way shall be guilty of a misdemeanour."Mr Chaponda, a trained lawyer, insists that this includes farting."Would you be happy to see people farting anyhow?" he asked on the popular "Straight Talk" programme on Malawi's Capital Radio.He said that local chiefs would deal with any offenders.When asked whether it could be enforced, he said it would be similar to laws banning urinating in public. ---------------------------------------------------love to know how they could pick the farter in a group http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12363852

<!--6e052d28b1806771e2d163a041d4a5d4-->Is it a major problem then? So what would happen if you were walking your cow down the road and it passed wind (sorry got to use soft words for the works firewall) and it passed wind, does the cow get a ticket and does the owner get a ticket also for allowing or being in control of a cow which has passed wind. Dont ask about the goldfish though.

"He said that local chiefs would deal with any offenders."

So if it went to court what would they have to use for evidence? Skiddy undies? Catch the offending guff in a jar and pass it around the jury? As Dyna says, the mind boggles.
