School bans farting in public

A Chinese school has introduced a new rule to ban pupils from farting in public.

Children caught breaking wind at Hu Zhuang Elementary School in Beijing are fined about 50p.

Zhang, a school teacher, said: " We use the regulation to help students get rid of their bad habits. And nobody has been fined so far."

However, not all of the teachers agree with the new rule, reports Sina News.

Gao, a senior teacher, said: "To form good habits is important. But according to Department of Education regulations, schools have no right to fine."

The school has also introduced rules forbidding pupils to drop litter or cough without covering their mouths.

And, in a related story, three children today exploded from the build-up of excess intestinal gas. All boiled cabbages are being considered in a nation wide ban on "gasy" foods.

Its not good to hold it in, when you feel the urge you gotta let rip.

Since they have banned "public" farting, does that mean that they have created "private" farting rooms? Will the children feel stigmatized having to use this new "facility"?

What about those "SBD" farts (silent but deadly)? Is there going to be an official "sniffer" to find the offending party?
