YOUR 15 MINUTES: P.U. Light a Match, Wouldya?!

Federal Avaition Regulations may require the use of signs like this in passenger airplanes in the coming months. OK! Fine! That was a lie! But, in case you missed this yesterday, an American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said.

The Dallas-bound flight was diverted to Nashville after several passengers reported smelling burning sulfur from the matches. All 99 passengers and five crew members were taken off and screened while the plane was searched and luggage was screened.

The FBI questioned a passenger who admitted she struck the matches in an attempt to conceal a "body odor." She had an unspecified medical condition, authorities said. It's called gas. I have it too sometimes. This is a whole new kind of terrorism - hijacking an airplane with my asshole. Interesting concept.

BEST PART OF THE STORY!!! The flight took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on the plane. The woman, who was not identified, was not charged in the incident.
