Mad Gasser of Britain

We can get pretty serious here for the most part. I know that this is about subjects a lot of people find incredulous or even laughable, and I definitely try to make sure to take it as seriously as possible while injecting a little humor from time to time. Too much humor and it reads like I'm poking fun of the topics; too little and it reads as a dry, technical manual. So every now and again, I come across a piece that, while not Unexplained or paranormal, is definitely odd and humorous, and I think y'all will like it. This is one such piece:

Englishman, Maurice Fox, a 77-year old pensioner, received a letter from one of his favorite hang-outs, a social club in Paignton, sometime back, asking him to "...please consider that your actions are considered disgusting to fellow members and visitors." It urged him to heed this warning.

Mr. Fox told the press, "I am happy to oblige them, there is no problem. I do get a bit windy - I am an old fart now."I am happy to oblige them, there is no problem. I do get a bit windy - I am an old fart now. I think someone has complained about the noise. I am a loud farter, but there is no smell. I think someone has complained about the noise. I am a loud farter, but there is no smell."

In keeping with the spirit of The OddBlog, I would just like to point out that, as Mr. Fox noted, the reasons for his receiving the letter are Unknown.

Was someone offended by the sound of his flatulence? Is Mr. Fox wrong when he thinks his own shit doesn't smell? We cannot say, but seeing as how Mr. Fox has agreed to excuse himself form the room from now on, there is no real need to get to the bottom of this.

After all, the world would be a poorer place without some mystery...
