When did they start using “fart” in real news stories?
An elderly man was arrested Monday night after a neighbor’s fart allegedly drove him to threaten him with a gun, police said.
Daniel Collins, 72, had been involved in an ongoing dispute with the unidentified neighbor for some time, Det. Lt. Andrew McGurr told NJ.com. The neighbor told officers that Collins pointed a revolver at him in the vestibule of their apartment building at 694 Cedar Lane at around 9:25 p.m.
Collins said he confronted the man after hearing him pass gas in front of his apartment door, but denied threatening him with a gun. He consented to a search, and officers recovered a .32 caliber revolver from his vehicle.
Collins was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, which would get downgraded to jaywalking in some places.
After being processed, he was released.
In Dutch “fart” means “car”, so I guess sometimes the word is used in the news.
Oh behave!
Grow up!
Fart is the proper and correct term….as is fart gas.
It’s like prudes taking offence to the remark that “it is cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey”…..the fools have no idea what a monkey is….
Clue: it holds cannon balls.
– gas chamber.
Bravo!!!
Your case rests entirely on fumes.
And emanations, emanations from a fundamentumbra.
