LAKELAND, Fla. - An eighth-grader was suspended from riding the school bus for three days after being accused of passing gas. The bus driver wrote on a misbehavior form that a 15-year-old teen passing gas on the bus Monday to make the other children laugh, creating a stench so bad that it was difficult to breathe. <><>
The bus driver handed the teen the suspension form the next day.
Polk County school officials said there's no rule against flatulence, but there are rules against causing a disturbance on the bus.
The teen said he wasn't the one passing gas.
Whether he did it or not, he might have gotten off easy. A 13-year-old student at a Stuart school was arrested in November after authorities said he broke wind in class.
Seriously :WTF:
