Middle School Bans "Intentional" Farting

For adults, farting is something that we desperately try to contain and make private. This story brought me back to grammer school, when boys had the magical ability to produce farts upon demand and aim them at the people they disliked.

But it is doomsday for those "intentional" farts in Camden, ME, as they have banned it.

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!"
