Fart fire in Germany

Fart fire in Germany. Now that we know this can happen, here’s hoping they take proper precautions for tonight’s State of the Union gathering.

  • FTA:

    Cows are believed to emit up to 500 litres of methane - a potent greenhouse gas - each per day.

    Looks like Al Bore has a new "Climate Change" crusade to push for.
    Eliminate cows. It'll make for nice high beef and dairy prices too!

    • Well we could run a hose from the cows butt to the environmental nuts mouths.....solve two problems at once, cow farts to eliminate liberals...Fair trade.

  • Yeah, it was....ummm, er, THE COW FARTS. YEAH that's it, the COW FARTS.
    NOT the three bowls of chili I had for lunch.

    • This sounds funny due to our 2nd grade approach to bodily functions, but I am telling you, this is no joke. According to the complaint, she was given an episiotomy in delivery, a common enough procedure, though not necessarily required. But unless she was delivered by a trained nurse midwife, that is beyond an RN scope of practice. Granted, you can get away with a lot in a military hospital (no state laws to control what licensed personnel can be required to do or not allowed to do) butit certainly should have then been repaired. Even if they are CYA by calling a tear an episiotomy, there is no excuse for not repairing it, and they are correct that the chances of repair now are slim to none. And this will affect more than her opera career, if she has incontinence for the rest of her life.

      • Why can't you stitch it up later? If there's one thing men know from experience about that opening down there, it can change from Open For Business to Closed For Repairs in a heartbeat.

        • It can be repaired, but now it's much more difficult and extensive. The result may never be satisfactory, and may only last ten years or so if it is tolerable. That's not long for a young woman. She could require multiple redos in the future.

    • She is experiencing "fecal urgency and incontinence, including periodic leaking of stool and excessive flatulence." I'm no opera buff, but it seems to me that yes, a singer leaking stool might ruin the ability of the audience to enjoy the performance. Just a guess though.
