Farting to be illegal in Malawi

[Newbunkle]

I'm going to re-enact that old "God's Smuggler" comic cover...

Only smuggling prunes and beans into Malawi instead of bibles!

He's driving through a checkpoint with the contraband piled up in the back seat in plain view. Best. Smuggler. Ever. No wonder he needs to pray.

Remind me not to go to Malawi any time soon.

I wonder if we are going to see a spate of spontaneous combustions happen in Malawi?

Not sure, but what I'm seeing here is a South Park reference.

"...pretending to be a fortune teller"

This was also illegal... in imperial China

Why can't I find any records of this on the BBC news site?

What is this thing that I am seeing?

What is this thing that I am seeing?

A comic book about the actions of Andrew van der Bijl, a Dutch missionary who was famous for smuggling Bibles into communist countries during the Cold War.

That was my first thought too.

according to The Daily Mail

I'm suprised nobody has pointed this phrase in the article out. The chances of this actually being true have plummeted to virtually nil. The Daily Fail's foreign desk comprises of two monkeys bashing randomly on an old-style typewriter with the buttons a, x, g, t, and u all missing (well it's better than their UK news desk which consists solely of dead fish and phone tappers).

Banning farts may be a good thing, i did once hear of a farmer that went to check his cows one night after hearing some noise, forgot his torch and decided to light up his zippo so he could see where he was going, unfortunately he did so directly next to the rear end of one of his cows where a perfectly timed fart vaporised his eyebrows.

It may also lower the many incidents of badly executed "pull my finger" jokes after a heavy meal or drinking session, the consequences of which can be most uncomfortable.

Do you support banning sneezing too?

It's only a joke Zack, how could i possibly be in favour of banning farts? they have to go somewhere or we'd all explode.

Because obviously the BBC site is being influenced by the pro-farting lobby. They don't want to show how their losing what used to be a strong grip in Malawi.

 

[Azale]

I back the fortune teller part of the law only if the punishment is execution.

 

[GenMarshall]

Now the people of Malawi are going to have to blame there gasses on invisible animals.
