The Wind Beneath His Jeans

With all the awful things going on in the world right now, maybe we could bow our heads and spare a thought for this poor schmoe.

A Missouri drug possession suspect hiding from police farted so loudly, he led cops straight to him. The Clay County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook a picture of deputies searching for the suspect in question, along with a warning that if you’ve got a felony warrant for your arrest, the cops are looking for you and you pass gas so loudly it gives up your hiding spot, you’re definitely having a shitty day.

The cops ended the post with a poop emoji.

Police added, “We’ve gotta give props to Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff him out!”

Only one word left to say: Bummer.

I am a 72-year-old retired journalist, busy recovering from a lifelong career as an unretired journalist. This year marks a half century of my scratching out little fables about life. My interests include genealogy, humour and music. I live in a little blue shack in Canada and spend most of my time trying to stay out of trouble. I am not that good at it. I also spent years teaching journalism. Poor state of journalism today: My fault. I have a family I don't deserve, a dog that adores me, and two cars the junk yard refuses to accept. My prized possessions include my old guitar and a razor my Dad gave me when I was 14 and which I still use when I bother to shave. Oh, and my great-great-grandfather's blackthorn stick he brought from Ireland in the 1850s. I have only one opinion but it is a good one: People take too many showers.
