Humor Me

Now that I have three sons, this seems like an issue that I should give a toot about:

The potential academic menace of intentional farting.

It's a part of this school newsletter:

"Strange, but true, thanks to a bunch of 8th grade boys, intentional farting has been banned from CRMS. 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!

Maybe my favorite part of the story is this passage:

According to a group of seventh-grade students milling around downtown following Friday's storm-related early release, the eighth-graders' escapades are well known in the school.

When questioned where he learned that information, Tyler and the other students all said it was true, though they couldn't remember where they heard it.

That last part is classic middle school.

And as far as that detention hall, I can imagine the smell in there.
