crazyfarts dot com - Flatulence on plane sparks emergency landing

From the "no, it wasn't me department" comes the latest report of farts at 38,000 feet.

An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said.

I can't even make this stuff up. And no, it was not me. I fly United. I know you all were thinking it though.

Let this be a lesson to everyone; it is not proper to light a match after farting on a plane. It IS however expected that everyone plays along with the fart game to ensure that the person sitting next to them "ate it".

From the article:
"She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said."

Uh huh. Me too. It's called demasiadas frijoles or as we say up here north of the border: too many beans.

When ~~defarting~~ departing from the plane one flight attendant was quoted as saying "well, this stinks". Her co-worker retorted with "I thought it was quite a gas"
