What is the chance that a fight over a fart "erupts" (pun totally intended) at a place called Sloppy Joe's? In Florida, it seems, there's always a 100% chance of weird. 

I've seen quite a few bar fights in my day, but it usually begins with a spilled drink, an invasion of personal space, or an unwelcome advance towards someone's girlfriend. Not this time, this fight broke out because of broken wind. According to the WPLG Local 10 News post, 55 year old Sandra Stoner, and 53 year old Richard McBride of Napels were at this bar, drinking with some buddies when the fart happened. Stoner had a few words with another woman, before getting out of her chair and "getting in her face in what appeared to me as an aggressive manner." says Officer Igor Kasyanenko after looking at a surveillance video.

An unidentified man stepped up to diffuse the situation, and McBride pushed him. That push resulted in the man punching him in the face, McBride tackling the man, and the fight continued on the floor until Sloppy Joe's security broke it up. The unidentified couple took off, and police never found them. McBride was taken to the hospital to be evaluated for a dislocated shoulder, and decided not to press charges.

The next time you think you can just sneak out a silent stinker at the bar, remember that you could get your stinky ass whooped over it! Also, keep in mind Sloppy Joe's is not the place to release wind from your sloppy holes. I've been a bartender for quite a while, and we get crop dusted all the time. Next time it happens, I'm calling security!

I could make bad jokes about this all day long.
