from the bottom-burps dept.

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:

An elderly man's flatulence forced his flight to make an emergency stop after a fight broke out over his barrage of bottom burps.

Passengers flying with budget Dutch airline Transavia from Dubai to Amsterdam were reportedly put out by the man's continued farting, and asked him to stop.

But the man failed to hold it in, and when even a direct order from the pilot didn't take the wind out of his sails, two particularly incensed passengers took matters into their own hands.

Local media reported that two Dutchmen sat next to the trumper started a fight with the man, which escalated to the point where the pilot was forced to make an unscheduled stop.

On landing in Vienna, armed police boarded the plane to remove the men who caused the ruckus, along with two sisters who were seated next to them.

    I can only afford to eat beans and fly in economy seating.

    Don't ever travel LA to Sydney, there's no airport in between for unscheduled stops.

        Sounds enticing.

          You want our Penthouse Suite. Hugh Hefner, wonderful friend, a true ladies' man. I got so much pussy when I knew him, he always had extra ladies for me. RIP!! But we don't call this one the Playboy Suite -- I just thought of that, I like the sound of that, maybe we'll call it that -- it's the Penthouse Suite. And our rates start at $3735 American per night. For a quick stop. You stay a few nights -- 3 or more -- we can get you a break. A discount from that. Believe me, it's a very fair price. For the best rooms at a 5-star hotel, on an island in the Pacific. And you can tell your friends you stayed at a Trump hotel, at the best hotel in Hawaii. They'll be very impressed. Call +1-877-683-7401 or +1-808-683-7777, or visit our website to make your reservation. www.trumphotels.com/waikiki [trumphotels.com]

            Nope, I want the presidential suite. The one in which if one stays, he gets to be elected POTUS.

            Hugh Hefner

            To that big fucker, respects! RIP.
            But see what your Penthouse Suite got him?

    If you eat enough beans, you'll be able to fly without needing an aeroplane!
