Don’t blame me for the question 😆
I was actually headed down a whole ‘nother writting road when I was reminded of something I saw on Fartbook 😳 today that had me digging deeper to find out The rest of the story 🙂
It was about an overly flatulent passenger on a flight from Dubai to Amsterdam on which a passenger let fly 😉 toots that were sooo horrifyingly bad that….well, I’ll let you read some of the more descriptive headlines and you’ll figure it out!

I don’t know about you all, but I think we needed a story like this to make the headlines today.
Don’t get me wrong…the stories monopolizing the various media outlets these days are important ones. And we as a society must pay attention to and get involved in, finding solutions when and where we can. Especially with regard to the tragedies at our nation’s schools. Of this there is no question.
But something non-political or racially charged…
Wait…there is one headline that does not fall into this category…and to me, it’s just plain ignorant and self-serving; maybe even hate mongering rhetoric.
Did you notice? Go back and read #8.
To claim racial profiling? Really? Do they think his flatulent emissions were trying to enter their country illegally?
Or perhaps their thinking was that his intolerable tootage was being used as a weapon of mass disgustion!
Whatever the reason behind that headline, it’s Just. Plain. Stupid.
Anyway…I was actually writing a post on another kind of gas when I was reminded of these headlines seen today.
If nothing else, I hope it brings a smile to your face.
Or maybe you’ll chuckle enough to release a little pressure of your own!
Hey, when you’re my age…the relief valve doesn’t always work!!!
Sometimes…it’s an effluent pump run amok!!
😆 Peace and Good Booty Bombs to All 😆

This is a good one Rhonda. I had read it previously on MSN or Yahoo maybe yesterday or Saturday. It made me laugh but you are right about race entering the picture. It does not matter about race. Sometimes it happens if you eat the wrong food. It’s just too bad the passenger did not have the good sense to try to stay in the bathroom. Someone could have offered the passenger an antacid which works pretty well to stop flatus or even some Imodium which also works.
But you made me laugh with all the different captions. A hilarious post. I reckon the passenger was most likely mortified but how knows? Maybe that is the norm in some countries.
