Sixth-grader punished for farting
An Ohio sixth-grader has been given detention for farting on the school bus. Christian Summers, 11, says the flatulence was involuntary, and thinks it “pretty dumb” that he was sentenced to detention. The bus driver, however, maintains that Summers’ stinky wind-breaking was intentional, noting on the detention slip that “while the others scream, he laughs.”
