Middle school issues ban on intentional flatulence

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

The Merriam Webster Dictionary definition for flatulence is brief: "flatus expelled through the #######." And while it's a natural bodily function, it seems some Camden-Rockport Middle School eighth-grade boys are taking it to new heights and making a game of seeing who can expel the loudest and grossest flatus.

According to this week's Fire Cracker school newsletter though, the joke's on the boys as the penalty for "intentional farting" is now a detention.

"Strange, but true, thanks to a bunch of 8th grade boys, intentional farting has been banned from CRMS," the newsletter said. "It started out as a funny joke and eventually turned into a game. This is the first rule at CRMS that prevents the use of natural bodily functions. The penalty for intentional farting is a detention, so keep it to yourself!"

As a teacher of 9th graders and 12th graders I must say I heartily support this decision! Teenage boys do tend to be gassy....and having them right after PE is TERRIBLE!

Having been on the receiving end of my 14 y/o son's farts I can say this ban can only be a good thing. I might start implementing it in my home too.

I think I'll put this rule into affect in my house ASAP. My son is 13 and I swear his farts can knock you off your feet! Nasty butt!

When you know it's coming and instead of holding it you tell people it's coming, spread your cheeks and make a show of it

My son farts into his hand and throws it at me.

Ahhh, the joys of parenting.

Hmmm, good discussion.

I remember a family story about a father who farts so loud all the time. The other members discussed about it and finally end up with a good decision, every time the children hear their father farts, they will reply "I love you too dad!"

Doesn't that just make him fart more?

I don't know, maybe they finally accepted their father can't control it. And let their father feel not so shameful about it.
