  • Damn! If my neighbors or co-workers pointed a gun at me every time I farted I would never get anything done. I do love my pinto beans!

  • Maybe the guy with the gun was one of Al Gore's environmental nazis who thought the ozone layer was being damaged again....

  • You can't pull a gun on your neighboe if he farts, but what about if he lights a bag of dog crap on fire outside your door?
    Maybe Notsosilent can help me out with this one.

        • This surprises me. Teaneck is in the Northern, "more politically enlightened" (blue) area of the state. It's not like this was one of those hick, redneck, South Jersey people.
          Someone needs to capture and release this old guy, relocating him to an area where he can live with his own kind, let's say Burlington or Cumberland County.
