Two for the Road

Here are a pair of news stories, neither of which I made up.

1. A 15-year-old in Lakeland, Fla., has been suspended from school for farting too much on his bus. The school bus driver turned him in. Something about this story doesn't add up. If the bus driver smelled it, isn't it an immutable law of the schoolyard that he also dealt it?

2. A dad from Hudson, Mass., faces charges for hosting a party with beer for his high school-age son. When police came to the house, the man leapt from a window and ran into the woods. Sounds like he fit right in with the kids.
