Fart joke leads to accusations of terrorism, arrest

Prince Of Dorkness

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/1 ... 68713.html

So a guy writes a joke about how he dropped a bomb in the library, "dropping a bomb" being a very common term for farting.

But thanks to the quick wit of Mississippi law enforcement, he now faces a $10,000 fine and 10 years in jail.

Now I'm sure not all people from Mississippi are stupider than dirt. Just virtually all.

Jeesh...is it me, or is common sense flying out the window more and more?

this is a perfect "I'm still laughing" topic, and I don't care how old I get..a party bomb /fart will always be funny.

One man's insult is another man's "sad but true." :roll:

i have farted and even been around others who fart or have farted. not once have i ever heard someone say they dropped a bomb. i hear dropping the f bomb is saying the word fuck. this i hear. never dropping a bomb being farting.

different regions have different words/sayings.

taking it to court over a written joke is ridiculous.

so he shit em in the library and wrote it out as dropping a bomb in his pants inside the stacks and isles of books. who frickin cares? the slow and legal beagel shits of mississippi care a lot i guess... many folks have a giant amount of time on their hands to do nothing with but bitch and make frivolous claims and lawsuits out of passing gas in a learning type environment

This story reminds me of those two Brits who were arrested for tweeting at LAX. Land of the free indeed.

If someone making a silly one-liner joke gets you this upset, you might want to rethink reading things on the Internet. 

No, I don't actually think people in Mississippi are virtually all stupid. 

But you have to admit the arresting office probably IS.

The key is to ignore, guys...

but is it technically trolling if unintentional?

regardless... I agree; IGNORE.

Roughly.

Funny story about that.

you don't eat a lot of garlic, do you?


(in my defense, I'm trying to use the "F" word a bit less here. Well and in general. My friends are all adopting kids and have stopped inviting me to cookouts because they kids are all starting to talk like me. :evil: )

If this story weren't so pathetic I'd say it had to come from The Onion. Future historians will call this The Golden Age of Paranoia or maybe just The Age of Fear.

I find your insults incredibly ironic as I'm sure many do out there on the internet

sometimes one must point out the irony in life

of course people are getting arrested for dumb stuff like this
law enforcement covers it's ass... no pun intended
and after the new training follows the anti terrorists laws
as they must

bomb the new four letter word ... careful where you use it

Agreed this story is over the top.
On the fart note, when my brother and I were young my dad would call farts 'blowing bombs'. I guess 'fart' was on the list of curse words back then.

chadwick

if i were in 3rd grade right now (technically i probably should be there) and i shat myself a good one during class and someone said to the teacher, miss isms, chadwick is bomb-farting bigtime over here! i think they would get scolded for using inappropriate language. i believe this to be true. those of you with young children should try this out at the child's school. and do this in the school's library.... for heaven's sake please do not fart in the book piles.

AhAHa ah HUH Huh aHAHT
(spoken beavis style)

...yeah, uh, she said "bombs dropping down"
