A flatulent airline passenger who passed so much gas it resulted the flight being diverted is attempting to exploit recent news stories to place the blame elsewhere.

“Must have been an emotional support skunk on that plane that got nervous and let rip.”

However the airline insists there were no emotional support skunks on the plane to their knowledge.

“We’d also like to point out that skunk scent doesn’t smell that bad.”

They did admit that there was an emotional support badger on the flight, but insist its digestive habits were excellent.

“Percy would never do something so vulgar.”
