I am taking a break from Crown Mouldings and came across a hilarious news article. It is surprising what makes the news these days, but here it is. The above photo is Lake Malawi in Malawi Africa. It is the fifth poorest country in the world, but is trying its darnedest to do something about air quality, you know, pollution. It seems that the government recently introduced a bill to ban .... well, passing gas, prepetating, blowing wind, indeed, farting. In a concerted effort to reduce carbon emissions, this activity will be only allowed indoors. I laugh so hard I can hardly type. My mother used to tell me to "go outside if you have to do that". Well, not in Malawi. What safer place to 'let one' than in the great outdoors?
Somehow, if we keep the gas indoors, the air quality will be better. Well, not indoors, it will not!
How are they going to enforce this edict? I can see it now. Park wardens with parabolic microphones, and sniffer dogs, not rooting out drugs or poached animal parts, but flatulence!
The primary diet in Malawi is vegetables, mainly cabbage. That bloated feeling, especially among the aged population, could turn into some serious explosions for law abiding citizens. Can't you just see a fellow, gardening, and suddenly running into the house to relieve himself. Just as suddenly the house empties and now everyone wants to work in the garden.
So, tourists, take note. Pack a suit case full of Beano if you are considering a vacation to Malawi.
Perhaps all this will accomplish is to insure that Malawi will remain poor. But the air up there will be great!
