If you remember my most recent Funny Human, The Crowd Farter, you’ll know that I don’t enjoy when people bust one loose in the middle of a sweaty bus or elevator or fireworks display. I can’t deny that I am guilty, but I don’t have to because creepy little Crowd Farters remain anonymous.
Apparently, the higher-ups in Malawi share my sensitive nose’s sentiment. They’re currently debating a law on banning, as they call it, “breaking wind in public.” The best part of the article is its accompanying picture. Looks like a stinky one.
THE JUSTICE MINISTER OF MALAWI said, “Just go to the toilet when you feel like farting.”
Thanks, Justice Minister.
I seriously love that this is being debated in a government somewhere. If I would have known this was on the bill, I might have flown in. I’m interested in learning more about the system they’ll use to detect the perpetrator.

No fucking way. I could be arrested in Malawi for lettin 'er rip? Remind me to stay away from dairy, chili, indian, asparagus, and anything else that gives people gas if I ever go there.

Btw, today one of my middle school students explained to me how cool it was that people could now be arrested for farting in public and thanks to this blog, I informed him that this great law had not yet arrived in America, but it was good enough for Africa or at least Malawi. Thanks for helping me educate the youth.
That’s my new tagline: Laurenne Sala. Educating the youth, one fart joke at a time.
