The art of farting .
Breaking Wind Farting Banned By MIddle School
"The Merriam Webster Dictionary definition for flatulence is brief "flatus expelled through the anus." And while it's a natural bodily function, it seems some Camden-Rockport Middle School eighth-grade boys are taking it to new heights and making a game of seeing who can expel the loudest and grossest flatus.
According to this week's Fire Cracker school newsletter though, the joke's on the boys as the penalty for "intentional farting" is now a detention."

Young boys don't know the meaning of proper etiquette; they fart, pick at boogers, eat with their fingers, spit indiscriminately, and engage in many other disgusting habits.
I'm not surprised that middle school boys have refined farting into a game. It would take a sever behavior modification program to stop boys from engaging in such tomfoolery.
Detention should be reserved for serious infractions, and not for behavior that is normal, albeit gross, for teenagers.
How can a teacher determine if an episode of farting is intentional? If the suspect lifts a cheek, or has a huge smile on his face when he lets loose -- we can assume it's intentional. But I know an old coot who farts all the time, I suspect he does it on purpose, but he doesn't give himself away by smiling or any other suspicious behavior.
The eight-grade boys will outgrow their penchant for farting once they realize it doesn't go over very well with girls. The Camden-Rockport Middle School should disband their fart police, and concentrate on teaching reading, riting and rithmethic.
I enjoy a good fart and do it quite frequently
one of lives pleasures
how about you ???? lol
