How irritated do you get when your significant other passes gas in front of you without even bothering to apologize? Or worse yet how irritated would you get if the love of your life farted in your direction on purpose? Would you be mad? Mad enough to stab them? Deborah Ann Burns did just that, she stabbed her boyfriend for farting in her face.
The 37-year-old Florida woman told police that she was watching TV in her Immokalee home when her boyfriend of six years, Willie Butler, walked by and farted in her face. Burns was pissed! She confronted Butler about the offending passed gas and apparently Butler told her to “shut up.” Well, Burns wasn’t having it. Burns allegedly grabbed an 8-inch kitchen knife and threw it at Butler. Butler who is 53 years old, was hit in the stomach and suffered minor lacerations. Burns was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
I will admit that there have been times when my husband farts and it stinks so bad it feels like I have been socked in the face by a shit fist and I don’t like it. It pisses me off if he keeps doing it because it would be nice if he would go stink it up in a room where I don’t happen to be, but I would never throw a knife at him for his gaseous indiscretions. I might spray him head to toe with air freshener and make merciless jokes about what crawled up his butt and died, but I’m pretty sure I won’t get arrested for those things. I hope.
