Weird. For some reason that’s how I thought people in Jersey said hello.
According to NJ.com, the wife of a 420-pound New Jersey man who received gastric bypass surgery recently filed a lawsuit against his former employer after they allegedly fired him because the surgery made him fart a lot.
Louann Clem says both her and her husband Richard used to work at the Case Pork Roll Company in Trenton, but she quit after her husband was harassed and fired for farting too much in the office. She says Case President Thomas Dolan began harassing her husband because the smell of his farts was overpowering the “aroma of pork roll.”
“We have to do something about Rich,” Dolan allegedly told Louann. “This can’t go on. We can’t run an office and have visitors with the odor in the office.”
The lawsuit also says Richard’s farts finally became unbearable in late February of last year, so Dolan fired him.
Hey, if you think that’s bad, its been rumored that farting in public was punishable by death in some ancient cultures, so maybe the Clems should just be thankful that we’ve grown as a society. Well, except for fart jokes, of course.
