(MSNBC) Police: Fatal stabbing blamed on fart jokes
I don't know about y'all, but I'm seriously thinking about keeping a lid on my juvenile sense of humor.

Police: Fatal stabbing blamed on fart jokes
BRISTOL, Conn. — A Connecticut man is being held on murder and assault charges after allegedly stabbing four people, one fatally, because partygoers were making fun of his flatulence.

Police say Marc Higgins, 21, left a party Saturday and returned with three knives, stabbing people indiscriminately, according to court documents released on Tuesday.

The Hartford Courant, quoting those documents, reported that Higgins told police he was angry at being derided and wanted to teach people that they shouldn’t trifle with him.

3. Were the bystanders not sufficiently appreciative of his efforts?
I thought most guys were pretty proud of their skill in that area. :eyes: This guy's first day at the penitentary could be a little rough, when the other inmates ask him what he's in for and he has to explain what he did.

:hi: Heidi! :D

5. BUNNY!!!!!
Mornin', sunshine! :hug:

If the accused had been patient, his victims probably would have eventually died of asphyxiation, saving him the exertion of stabbing them as well as the consequent prison sentence. :rofl:
