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.

    On occasion when I am particularly foul I find it humorous to carpet bomb a random aisle in a store and take a observation post outside of the contamination area. It's hard to stifle the laughs when the victims start complaining and coughing. I have been sometimes guilty of depositing a hot smelly cloud inside elevators just as I am leaving. Timing and stealth are critical as you want to leave in there instead of having it follow you out the door. Once in college I left a cloud in a full elevator and ran up the stairs to the next floor in time to watch the entire elevator get abandoned. Good times...

    My worst carpet bombing came in a Costco IIRC, and was nearly fatal. I'd left a particularly bad fart in an aisle, and I was leaving I looked back and saw an old lady drive into it. Literally, with a little motor cart she had to help her get around. Her face contorted, she made this pathetic little squeak, and promptly drove into a column of family sized chips. If she had hit the shelving with that cart, I dunno what would've come down from above.

    It's the worst one, the one I feel most guilty about, but also one of my proudest moments :)

      Maybe this story was a plant to find out which users are actually dudes. Proud of farting, check :)
