Mrs Snowman spotted a [fun story on the BBC News](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41950775) this morning.

> …a detective’s report said Mr Sykes “leaned to one side of his chair and released a loud fart” when asked for his address by police while being interviewed in September.
> 
> “Mr Sykes continued to be flatulent and I ended the interview,” the detective wrote after recovering.
