Last year a little dude in Stuart, FL got arrested for the most natural of bodily functions. The world laughed, Florida collectively groaned in embarrassment and that was that. Well, you’d think so anyway.

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — A Lakeland eighth-grader has been suspended from riding the school bus for three days after being accused of passing gas.

Really?! I mean, really?! The thing that troubles me the most is that the Times didn’t write this up themselves, they picked it up from the AP. Yeah, it is on the wire.

So, once again, you can Google for ‘lakeland fart’ or some variation and see all the papers all over that have picked it up. Sigh.
