Dailey Bailey: A Lawsuit Claims a Guy Was Fired For “Extreme Gas”

If we’re allowed to start suing people for criticizing our gas, I’m going to get rich, baby.

70-year-old Richard Clem of Levittown, Pennsylvania was fired from his job last year . . . because of his out-of-control flatulence. He worked at a company that makes pork rolls, which somehow makes the story even better.

His company felt like his gas was a serious distraction though. Apparently the president even told Richard, quote, “We cannot run an office and have visitors with the odor in the office.” So they fired Richard in February.

But it’s more complicated than that. Richard weighed 420 pounds back in 2010, and had gastric bypass surgery. And the gas was an unintended SIDE effect.

So his wife filed a lawsuit against the company last week, for discrimination against Richard’s disability. According to the suit, the surgery gave him TWO major side effects, quote, “extreme gas and uncontrollable diarrhea.”

She didn’t say how much money they’re looking for . . . they want a jury to decide.
