The Big Stink

Most reasonable people have an understanding of the etiquette surrounding the gaseous by-product of the consumption / waste cycle. I mean, there are rules:

1. No air time - If you're in the WC and nature calls, flush repeatedly.
2. Escapees - It happens. Move quickly and quietly away, taking the stink with you.
3. The Foghorn - Blush. Apologize. Move on.

Apparently, a Swedish banking employee threw caution to the winds and disregarded these rules. It ended up costing the employer $100,000 and resulting in an outright ban on farting - accidental or otherwise.

Political correctness is one thing, but how the hell is your employer going to prevent your body from doing what comes naturally?
