Malawi to debate public farting ban
AFP

Malawian lawmakers will next week debate a law change to criminalise
public farting, which a cabinet minister said had been encouraged by
democracy.

It's nice to think someone is cosidering the Ozone layer :-)

I suppose choirs of formation farters are also banned.

I feel a spoof Daily Mail piece coming on:

British artichokes put the wind up Brussels!

Eurocrats ban popular veg! Political Correctness goes mad as unelected
£50,000,000-a-year EU Commissioner Dyk van Dyjk orders bulldozing of
Britain's proud Jerusalem artichoke orchards. Said Dyk VD, as he
signed the Commisssion Directive estimated to cost the British
taxpayer up to £37,000,000,000, "The name is anti-Semitic, and the
digestive effects on the planet's upper atmosphere are far worse than
those caused by our own sprouts of Brussels." Van Dyjk, 59, is
believed to be living with a Romanian gipsy. (Good, but you haven't
mention Abu Hamza's hook yet: get on with it--Ed.)
