The funny thing is, I could see the EU actually doing something like this. They would say that to many people farting caused the volcano to erupt and therefore the taxes will be increased to pay for the environment.
Then my wife and most of the women I know would be exempt. Never met one who admits to farting. Always blaming it on the Hubby and the Dog. That would lead to the inevitable "Fart Audit" complete with a little EU official, with a set of horn rim glasses, following you around all day with some kind of gas detector. And the exemptions would be numberous. Does it count when you fart while taking a dump? And what about the fake ones you do in the crook of your arm. Is that like calling the police with a false report? Will some foods (baked bean, broccoli, ect) have a tax on them for gas potential? Will they be banned? If you eat beans, broccoli and a coulple of beligian beers, will that be considered an assault on the environment punishable with jail time?
Oh man, this can go all over the place.
I remember back in 1980 when Mount Saint Hellens erupted ash was on our cars and we live in New Jersey. Its amazing the impact just one of these things can have on the environment.
Just waiting for some wacko to claim that this erruption was caused by global warming...
i was still working for the airlines the first time this happened...the AC ( or anyone else) didnt know to track the ash and it nearly brought down a BA plane. now at any natural disaster the AC on the ground need to be inspected and all AC are kept from that airspace ( depending on the disaster ). history channel had this on a long time ago....
