RUSH: I have to share this with you. I always check websites during the break here. Some online website called the Dunfermline Press<\/a> — it\u2019s gotta be some wacko little cult paper in the UK –has a story that has a really great lesson on the unintended consequences of actions taken by those who want to save us from ourselves. In this case, the unintended consequences of the smoking ban. Now, in order for you to appreciate this, and you\u2019ll be able to see it because we\u2019ll link to it on the website later, but for those of you watching on the Dittocam, I want to zoom in because you have to see this guy. He\u2019s the focus of the story. I\u2019m not going to be able to hold it here steadily while I do the story but just get a look at that guy and keep the memory of that face in your mind as we tell you what the story is about. He is a regular at a pub, and he goes in, and he has his adult beverages or whatever. He has been barred. He has been thrown out of this pub because he breaks wind. The guy cannot stop breaking wind. The guy\u2019s name is Stewart Laidlaw, and they say that ‘his bouts of flatulence\u2019 are so over the top that people in the bar ‘have almost been sick after exposure to the foul smells.\u2019 (interruption) It won\u2019t work to tell \u2019em it\u2019s termites. He\u2019s 35 years old. He\u2019s furious. The name of the pub is Thirsty Kirsty\u2019s, and the guy is livid. He\u2019s the first person to be barred from the pub for breaking wind. Now, the owner says he\u2019s been in there for years breaking wind and nobody knew it because you were able to smoke. But now that they\u2019ve banned smoking, people who have been taking in the guy\u2019s wind all these years are for the first time in their lives able to smell it, and so he\u2019s been banned and so, see? The unintended consequences of banning smoking has caused this guy public humiliation. People had no clue it was happening because of the cigarette smoke that used to be in there. The title of the story is — well, we\u2019re going to title this on the website — ‘Gone with his Wind.\u2019 (Laughing.) The picture! I wouldn\u2019t let the guy in if he smelled like Drakkar Noir cologne, just on the basis of his looks. He\u2019s bright-eyed. This guy looks like he\u2019s on something from the moment he gets in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
