Pass (on) the beans in Malawi

Officials in Malawi, a small, impoverished country in southest Africa, are deciding whether or not to ban farting in public.

A new bill being introduced next week states:”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.”

One side says that includes passing wind. The other side says it’s only meant to cover pollution.

I would love to see the U.S. Congress arguing this one.

I would hope that someone who can generate that much methane in their farts be taken to the doctor rather than cited for a misdemeanor, as even when someone releases a rather stinky fart it passes rather quickly.
