What's really messed up:

they can suspend people for passing gas? I know it smells bad but that just doesnt seem right

That must have been some pretty intense gas.

I know of friends from college who got kicked out of cabs (or almost got kicked out) because of that. To get kicked off the bus, though...wow.

They are worried about a silent but deadly WMD...

He needs to say, "rather fart and be ashamed, than hold it in and bust a vein..." ;)

Imagine you're the prosecutor trying to get a conviction to that case.

If I were the judge, I would be so pissed. There can't be an actual law against it, could there?

Pollution in a ppm? IDK?

Maybe, but it kind of sounds...retarded.

I LIKE CHOCOLATE MILK!!! :D

I like Turtles...

I live in FL and relatively close to where this happened. There isn't a law about passing gas on a bus:o The bus driver wrote him up for "disruptive behavior" which got him suspended for 3 days.

I wouldn't want to actually on that bus experiencing it, in light of this remark: "creating a stench so bad that it was difficult to breathe."

However, I was still LMAO.

If the kid can come up with a "cause" like having IBS or something like that (note: Not sure if IBS results in pungent farting or not), but he could probably have a case.

Whoever smelt it dealt it? How is farting disruptive to driving a bus?

Yes, it certainly can, as can colitis and Crohn's. I've known people who could burp at will, but I've never met someone who could poot at will.

No clue. I didnt make the rules

My dad and uncle both could. We are aristocratic German stock.

And most people can exercise some restraint.

I tend to think there's got to be a lot more to this story.

Germans can fart at will?
