Forget Snakes... Farts On A Plane!



Hey, no one ever accused this of being a high-class blog!

American Airlines flight 99 made an emergency landing after passengers reported smelling struck matches, and FBI and TSA agents responded to the flight.

After a second thorough inspection of the plane, the passengers and all the luggage, bomb-sniffing dogs found burnt matches.

The FBI questioned passengers until one admitted to 'lighting up' in order to cover embarrassing body odor, and claimed she has a medical condition.

I wonder what 'condition' that would be?

The flight resumed, sans the flatulent woman, who has been banned for "a long time," according to Lynne Lowrance, spokeswoman for the Nashville International Airport Authority.

I wonder how long it will be until the gaseous lady files a discrimination lawsuit... Boo-hoo.

She probably should've looked into one of these:

Oh boy. At first I thought that thing was a plug. Whew!

Just how prevalent is hyperflatulence that it would have a website devoted to it?

Brooke said...

I don't know Cube... But you'd think that perhaps diet and Beano before a flight would be a sound investment!

She could have a yeast overgrowth, it causes the stomach contents to ferment, I had a problem with the yeast after the 2004 hurricanes, heat, humidity and no power worked their wonders! But there areways of correcting that, a diet sans a number of yeast feeding items and a good yeast cleanse worked for me! Sheesh, victimology run amuck, next thing yeast will be a protected condition. :rolling of eyes:

tmw: you joke, but yeast is a living organism. You just wait. There could be a Yeast Anti-Defamation League forming as you speak.

Brooke said...

Yeah, but the environmentalists will be all over her if she DIDN'T do anything about it! LOL! ;)

There are some fine sprays out there that can mask the gaseous emanations of the gastro-intestinal tract. And there's always Lysol!

That must have been some pretty rank flatulence.

Well at least we now know that the myth that 'girls don't fart' is busted.

Brooke said...

There was a myth and I blew it? AHHH!

I've known people who had to hospitalized and then got a single room in a campus dorm because of their intestinal problems. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a single when you're a freshman? This same fellow was a guy who could clear out an entire jr. high classroom, including the teacher.

Brooke said...

How did they prove it? Did they let one or two fly in front of the person who assigns the rooms? Heh.
