| Flatulence Allegedly Sparks Jail Fight |
| 2006-12-27 |
| Brian Bruggeman caused a stink at the Lincoln County Jail earlier this month and will now have to answer for it in court. Another inmate, Jesse Dorris, alleges that Bruggeman's flatulence, passed in close proximity to Dorris, sparked a Dec. 14 fight between the two at the jail. Now Bruggeman, 38, faces a Jan. 11 preliminary hearing on the state's complaint of assault by a confined person. It's a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Bruggeman is accused of injuring Dorris, his cellmate, when he pushed him into cell bars. Dorris, 26, was not charged. The two began scuffling, County Attorney Jeff Meyer said Tuesday, because Dorris was fed up with Bruggeman's flatulence. Jail fights are common, Meyer said, but the cause of this one was rather uncommon. "It's usually about someone hogging the newspaper or someone not happy about what's on TV," he said. Bruggeman, of Hershey, is serving a 90-day sentence for violating a protection order. "He compounded his problems," Meyer said. Dorris, of North Platte, is awaiting a January trial on a charge of aiding and abetting robbery. Brad Dawson, Bruggeman's attorney, did not immediately return a phone message left at his office. Sheriff Jerome Kramer said the incident was a result of overcrowding. The jail was built in 1933 and has a capacity of 23 inmates, according to 2006 standards, Kramer said. As many as 65 inmates have been lodged at the jail in recent days, he said. "You just can't get a reprieve from one another," Kramer said. "When you've got a guy causing problems passing gas, there's no way to get away from the smell." |

| #2 Conversational laws There are several laws that govern conversation. Here are some of them: The seventeen minute law states that, within a group of people engaged in conversation, there will be a lull in said conversation every seventeen minutes. Said lull is overcome by mentioning the seventeen minute law. The Monty Python law states that any and all socially-oriented conversations between more than one intelligent people will contain at least one Monty Python reference. This holds true even if those involved in the conversation don't realize that it is happening. The female angst tailspin law states that any female who is talking about something that bothers her will launch into a downwardly spiraling progression of all things that bother her, as if they are all related and actually part of one big problem she faces on a daily basis LOL! The flatulence law states that the topic of any sustained conversation between males only will eventually turn to flatulence. Gradually, flatulence itself will replace actual conversation until the women show up. truthy |
