And Here’s How They Handle It In Austria
A man in Austria has been fined $565 for protesting police.
Following an incident where the man behaved “provocatively and uncooperatively” during an encounter with officers, he … well, tooted. The police reported …
He got up from a park bench, looked at officers and “let go a massive intestinal wind apparently with full intent,” they said. “And our colleagues don’t like to be farted at so much.”
The fine was imposed for “offending public decency.”
Oh, to live in a country that cares about decency.
Thanks to Carl, our Worldwide Tooting Corespondent, for the heads up.
He could fight the ticket because they would have to prove intent, it would seem. Otherwise, tickets would be handed out for unintentional toots.
1I know I can’t be the only one who immediately thought of this:

If it was intentional, he has a rare and marketable skill. Mine are always unexpected and sometimes regrettable.
I know there’s a tear gas joke here somewhere.
3I’d rather not live in a country that uptight.
Who decides the intentionality of a fart?
Mike Pence?
4Here in this country, that could possibily have been air pollution. And they do ticket $$ for that!
5A fine is not two bullets in the back, nor a knee on the neck.
6We could do that here if we could pass toot reform.
7farted once and the person nearby says ”well pardon you” cuz I did not say excuse me. I turned and said…”yes the gawd created me this way so if you have some objection, then talk to gawd about his incompetence in designing me this way”

9I can’t believe I didn’t think of that earlier.
Good form!
We can only hope that in his later interactions with the police the Austrian guy got to utilize his outraaagious accent.
So Austria is Antifa(rt)?
10Darn it. Looks like I can never visit Australia.

13I was just made aware of this.
Yes it’s parody.
But hoo boy.
Whoops! Australia welcomes me. It’s Austria I can’t visit.
Cool.
14I eat a *very* plant based diet (vegan+), so I would be rendered poor rather cruciferously.
15But I couldn’t help remembering this Hippo video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSKQ3ZNQ_O8] 😉
Kathy Coomer, my first thought, so thanks for the link. Now I don’t have to look for it!
