Post subject: | Malawi poised to outlaw farting |
Malawi is determined to “mould responsible and disciplined citizens” with a law banning the breaking of wind. The Local Courts Bill of 2010 is set to be presented before a forthcoming parliamentary session by Justice Minister George Chaponda. The legislation also targets ne'er-do-wells "disturbing religious assemblies", "trespassing on burial places", "insulting the modesty of a woman" or "challenging to fight a duel", as well as those who pass the time by pretending to be a fortune teller... One unimpressed Malawian reportedly commented: “How can this government criminalise the release of intestinal gases? Everyone does that, even if it’s in public or it has an accompanying sound which is boring; making it criminal is a joke of democracy." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/01/28 ... gislation/ |

So does that mean if you are prone to Silent but deadly ones that you are technically guilty of carrying a concealed weapon? ![]() |

Well then it'll be one place where the maxim 'better out than in' definitely won't hold true. |

Let's hope Cameron and Clegg don't get wind of this (pun intended). If they don't ban it, they'll bloody well tax us on it! |

So if there's someone there you don't like, give them Bernard Matthews Golden Drummers for their tea, then have them arrested. ![]() ![]() |

I have found broccoli to be highly effective. Though would they and baked beans become proscribed substances? ![]() |
