1
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Farting news. There's a couple of stories today that piqued

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: my interest, one being an Austrian man who was fined

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars for loudly farting near police officers and

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: he's had his fine reduced after the appeal. Apparently he

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: was accused of offending public decency by farting provocatively at police.

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: He must have been I farmed in your general direction.

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: After the appeal they said no, okay, breaking wind was

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: a biological process, and even if he had done it deliberately,

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: the fart was covered by the freedom of speech. A

10
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: flatulent barrister tried to sue the Crown Prosecution Service in

11
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: the UK's won over two hundred thousand dollars after his

12
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: request to work from home was denied. They took it

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: to the employment try. They found out that his parts

14
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: were caused by medication. They were asking him to stop

15
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: breaking wind. He said, this is violating my dignity. The

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: tribunal found that it was a reasonable request of his

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: colleague to you know, stop flatulating around the office, because

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: it was a very small office and the repeated nature

19
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: of the flatulence was making it uncomfortable for everybody. Else

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: to go to work. But on appeal they said no, okay,

21
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: you can pay less because you know it's not necessarily

22
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: your fault. Imagine if both of these cases, though, had

23
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: actually gone further, you'd ended up in the big house.

24
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, you're walking into the cell and the flat.

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: Their cell mate's going, you know, like, what are you

26
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: in here for? Yeah, fighting aggressively. Well, come on in,

27
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: you've come to the right cell.
