Texas police say a 35-year-old man was cut and stabbed in fight over flatulence at a motel

[DemocratSinceBirth]

WACO, Texas (AP) — Police said a fight over flatulence left one man stabbed and another facing an assault charge. A statement Wednesday said police were called to a motel where several men from the Houston area were sharing a room. Police said a 35-year-old man allegedly passed gas in the room Tuesday night.

Police said one of the other men became upset, picked up a knife and threw it at the 35-year-old man, who was cut in the leg. The suspect was accused of then stabbing the man in the chest.

The 35-year-old was taken to the hospital and police said he was treated for non-life threatening wounds.

The alleged attacker was arrested and faces an aggravated assault charge.

6. If it were Florida, he would have been stabbed with something weird, like a lawn gnome. n/t

21. I know -- right?

Other places in America, more normal, go for the more mundane race-motivated rampages:

"For those who track the white supremacist movement, Keith Luke’s alleged killing rampage in Brockton this week was the latest disturbing sign that racism-fueled violence is seeing an Obama-era surge."

15. DONT MESS WITH TEXAS!!!

[damntexdem]

24. Yeah, just don't mess with Texas.

It makes enough of its own messes without your help.

[kimmerspixelated]

29. Wait...

I'm a native Texan(although not living there presently) and I'm tired of stereotyping!

[damntexdem]

23. Hey, it's a gas!

And Waco is even wackier.

[Occulus]

2. Hell of a story to tell the grandkids

"How'd you get that scar, Grandpa?"

"I farted."

[closeupready]

7. ROFL

:rofl:

[Horse with no Name]

3. Man that was some bad gas!

Should never eat at the "Pit Grill" when sharing a room with someone who isn't your S/O.

[nonconformist]

4. Wow, that stinks.

[On the Road]

5. I am Sorry, But This Makes Me Laugh --

out loud at great length. Don't even know what to say -- it's too perfect.

[TwilightGardener]

8. That must have been one smelly fart--probably FELT like assault in

a small motel room.

[CreekDog]

13. I can picture it: "You do that again I'm gonna kill ya"

"okay, i warned you..."

[flakey_foont]

9. could have been worse, I suppose

at least there was no 'Dutch Oven'

[ddeclue]

10. I fart in your general direction...

:rofl:

[MineralMan]

11. Well, my farts smell OK. Yours? Not so much.

And there it is.

[flakey_foont]

12. was it this Man of the Cloth, perhaps?

22. Oh my god!!!

That is without a doubt the funniest thing I have seen in years! My son and I could not stop laughing throughout the video.

[Crabby Appleton]

14. Why can't you stab flatulators? Seems like a bad law to me

especially in Texas.

[kimmerspixelated]

16. This post is a real stinker!

Thanks, I needed to laugh today!

[cloudbase]

17. Wow.

These stories usually have some mention of alcohol consumption. It must have been one hell of a fart to cause all of this while these guys were sober.

[WI_DEM]

18. They changed the location and camouflaged the sex of one of the people but my guess: W & Pickles

[mikeytherat]

19. Every story like this should also include the average BAC of all involved.

My bet is somewhere north of .17 in this particular instance.

25. "several men sharing a room"?

That jerk could have gone outside. How rude!

[Sentath]

31. Well, I suppose he could have

But, if the others were the least bit like the crews that I have been threatened with the prospect of sharing space with they would have teased him about it for the rest of time. Getting stabbed (if thats what it was, minimal scarring of the muscle, and not a slash) was much preferable. There was a bit of blood, an arrest, and a good story about the time he got stabbed for farting.

[rug]

26. Do not bring a fart to a knife fight.

[tammywammy]

27. LOL! n/t

[ddeclue]

28. DUZY Alert!

:rofl:

[noamnety]

30. What kinda moran

looks at a bag of skin filled with stinky gas, and thinks puncturing it with a knife is a good idea?

[Deja Q]

32. At least he wasn't stabbed in the gut.

[Berry Cool]

33. Go figure.

Straight from cutting the cheese to cutting the leg.

[Initech]

34. Dont fart with Texas

[Liberal_in_LA]

35. Only one was arrested? Throwing the knife was an attack also.

[The Straight Story]

36. Was it an assault knife or regular one? (one has different looking handle)

:hide:

[WolverineDG]

37. It isn't pronounced "Whacko" for nuthin' nt

[XOKCowboy]

38. I snore and have had things thrown at me....

when I've had roommates on the road. I'll have to start checking my roommates for weapons.

[sarcasmo]

39. My wife releases some toxic gas since gastric bypass, especially after beans and cheese.

I have had to leave the bed, but stabbing, that's just crazy.
