Accused of passing gas, man charged with battery [ca.news.yahoo.com]

A West Virginia man who police said passed gas and fanned it toward a patrolman has been charged with battery on a police officer.

What a gas, er... I mean that's kind of cheesey, uh... no, that didn't quite come out right...dang, no matter how I cut it.... OK, I give up....

Oh well, I am reminded of a saying in certain Scandanavian countries - "Every man loves the smell of his own farts." (I suspect that came out of a sauna though.)

There are those who smell their own farts under the blanket and liars who don't

We may all appreciate our own productions, although on occasions I have almost made myself sick, but I have yet to find anyone who enjoys another person's gaseous emissions. It does however seem to be a great source of humour for most people - someone farts and everybody laughs! Why is it funny?

Two things crossed my mind. Imagine the news reports, both in print and on TV, if a grand jury met to decide if there was enough evidence to indict him. And how Could 12 of his peers sit through it with straight faces if there were a jury trial.

What about evidence? Did the officer save a sample? Might DNA exonerate this fellow? As Johnny Cochran(RIP) once said, "If it doesn't smell like sh*t, you must acquit!"

You've highlighted the need for a piece of new technology based on the breath test apparatus. "Excuse me sir would you mind breaking wind into this bag please?"

So what if the person has already, um, shot his load and is unable to provide a sample for evidence? We need Lawman to weigh in on this.

I think the whole thing is just a farts. I mean farce.

Of course, then instead of a compulsory blood test they would be strapped to a commode until a sample was obtained.

"Every man loves the smell of his own farts."

I think this was Freud, "Every man relishes the scent of his own farts." No surprise there.
