Anyone with a sister knows any public discussion of her flatulence is a terrific revenge mechanism -- or a great way to get yourself smacked. Or both.

Publicly discussing your sister's ass-noise might warrant a smack, but discussing it with a local TV reporter and having the footage find its way to Jimmy Kimmel Live and broadcast across the entire country is probably enough to put the children of some lucky family therapist through college.
