A British man was found to be in contempt of court and sent to jail after he broke wind during the proceedings and burst into an uncontrolled fit of the giggles.

Now, I'm sure its difficult even on a good day to find something amusing in the Old Bailey, but the fact that a judge there might not share any form of a sense of humour is almost a complete and total cliche.

I suspect the giggling flatulant plea probably would not go over very well in any court regardless of the inherint stuffiness of the setting.
