school bans intentional flatuance

[MarkStalcup]

A sad but true story...a friend of mine had the same kind of liver cancer which killed Walter Payton, and ultimately killed him too in his late 30s. A side effect of the chemotherapy was problem gas. He kept working as long as he could to keep insurance going, and once had to fart - it was not funny, and often had side effects like incontinence and internal problems - and his supervisor (at the former Columbia House, now BMG and mostly gutted) in Terre Haute wrote him up a disciplinary notice and nearly fired him. A call from his doctor and his lawyer about ADA laws and his terminal illness got that shut down quick...but it's just an example of how this stuff could be abused. He died six months later...

HAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!

I thought MY school had some stupid rules. Y'know; this is one of them things that stops on it's own. After a few weeks it stops being funny, and as soon as the girls no longer want to have anything to do with these guys they'll stop all on their own. Peer pressure is an amazing thing.

But really; imagine the poor kid that does one by accident and gets hauled in for it. Or the proliferation that's gonna happen now that you've banned it. (Official decrying usually only makes things funnier.) Are they gonna escalate discipline if the kids don't stop? Imagine being suspended for THIS! (Or being the kid that gets suspended for an accidental one.)

Hue, if I am ever able to get the opportunity to me you, face to face... Please remind me to eat lots of Beans, Fried Chicken & garlic the night before.

Scintillating!

Baked Beans are one of my favorite foods, but for some reason
I never feel a more than usual compulsion to break wind after eating
a load of 'em (I fart when I fart... period)

In fact the connection between "food and fart" never made that much
sense to me

Seems in this thread I am a stranger in an unholy land!

I stand corrected
Hueys the expert on all things Manly.
I bow before your superior wisdom

Hey now...

Either I speak for a contingent of men that
are averse to " 24/7 fart humor"
......or I'm a woman.

Its up to you to make that choice buk

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I would prefer it if people would "go outside and shake themselves" as the expression goes here.

[fallensaviour]

If I try to "intentionally fart" ... I usually get a different even worse surprise

Ah..The reality of age.True Irony at its best.When your younger and you fart its funny,when your older and you shart you are laughed at when you excuse yourself from the room.

Yes, detention for disrupting classes, or if a kid puts his butt on/near another unwilling kid and cuts one, or disrespecting anyone else from the act, etc;

Well, hopefully the teachers will use discretion...what can I say...I'm behind
this (no pun intended)

[theantiquetiger]

There's a time & place for everything. Don't interrupt your classes and school
environment with something that classless (no pun intended)
---its not just a good idea for a rule in these extreme cases--it should also
be common sense---shame its not

Yes, detention for disrupting classes, or if a kid puts his butt on/near another unwilling kid and cuts one, or disrespecting anyone else from the act, etc; but not for a bunch of boys being boys during recess or between classes. If some kids stand around and see who can get the highest decibel reading and worst smell and every one is willing, more power to them. Show me the crowd, I will give them a run for their money!!

^^^ Hue, Would you rather the Kids Be engadging in sex, or sexural acts ? Or how about Bringing Guns to School....., or fighting. Or booze,... smoking, or ...doing Drugs.

Kids , will be Kids. Detention for a FART,.. was a bit too extreme.

That's a loaded question I won't even answer---not because I don't respect
you---its just I just feel like that that's a "set-up" question and not fair

And, regarding "kids will be kids"---Well, its not simply "detention for a fart"

In my last post which was short and to the point (unusual for me, right?)
I specified my point, using words like "intentionally" and "scenario"

There's a time & place for everything. Don't interrupt your classes and school
environment with something that classless (no pun intended)
---its not just a good idea for a rule in these extreme cases--it should also
be common sense---shame its not

When I was in school they had those HARD wooden chair/desk combos and even a One cheek squeak would end up sounding like a trumpet blast.
This has got to be the most Asinine thing I've ever heard.

No more asinine than a bunch of kids becoming a nuisance by intentionally
stinking up the joint and abusing the idea you can indeed break wind in
"appropriate scenarios" by holding gross-out contests, etc.

As far as "guys fart...its normal...its funny...yadda, yadda" with all respect
it just sounds like a mimic of an HBO comedy special ---and not real life for
EVERY male 24/7 ... I enjoy a good fart "laugh" now & again, but usually
its just a classless venture

[theantiquetiger]

But the male genes still dictate you laugh

Exactly, no matter how old you are, how much money you make, if you are a guy, you are gonna laugh!!!

Now they are trying to ban it!!!!

Come on everyone, lift a leg and rip one in protest!!!!

I think it is the one fun thing in life women cannot take from us, thats why we laugh.

[mitchedwards]

I am almost 40 years old, I work with 200 guys ranging from 30 - 60 years old, we have radios and a site wide intercom system, and we still play the fart game. There is nothing funnier in the fart game than some one keying up their mic and ripping one 2 o'clock in the morning (kind of a wake up call). We have different types, i.e. SBD, crop dusters, Harleys, (and my favorite) wait until there are three guys in a truck and drop one.

Every guy plays this game, no matter who you are, education level, job, etc. This game has been going on ever since Krug had his friend pull his hairy-knuckled finger.

Now it is punishable to play it? Makes me mad enough to call Toys2Cool and rip one over the phone into his ear!!!

I used to work with a guy that saved his gas for the elevator. Nothing pleased him more to rip one off in the elevator. It was gross and you were trapped in the elevator with him. But the male genes still dictate you laugh

[toys2cool]

That's funny man,I don't about detention though.Just call the parents or give them warnings or something
