To be worried I will be extradited to the USA

Last week I did something that is against the law in Florida and the way our citizens are being sent over there for breaking US law I am worried

By the way the law I broke was
You may not fart in a public place after 6 Pm on Thursday

Should I just keep quiet and not tell anyone.

Thinking about it I am sure I have commited this offence more than once

I think it only applies if it affects them directly. So unless it was a bloody loud fart you're ok

RuleBritannia · 13/03/2012 20:20

You could be extradited only if someone reported you. I read a book a few years ago by a British chap who travelled around the USA finding out the stupid, old laws. For instance, not allowed to eat oranges after such and such a time. I can't remember what the book was called though.

Are you married?

I always wanted to be a prisoners wife. Do they do civil partnerships in Florida?

LineRunner · 13/03/2012 20:23

Mitt Romney will execute you.

RuleBritannia
people have been know to complain when I fart and I have been know to fart upon leaving a lift in the shopping centre and laughing to myself when other people enter it. so it is not beyond possability that someone could report me

AllShiney
sorry to disappoint you but I am married. you could be a prisoners pen pal

I would already be travelling to somewhere with no extradition treaty with the US if I were you. No sense hanging around, you have admitted your crime on the WWW. They monitor everything you know.

lesley33 · 13/03/2012 20:50

Oh we could have a mumsnet campaign to fight your extradition. You know - Bacon is Innocent

roundtable · 13/03/2012 20:52

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

I'm ringing the embassy...

TheDowager · 13/03/2012 21:03

"Save our Bacon"

LineRunner · 13/03/2012 21:16

clever Dowager Smile

lesley33 · 13/03/2012 21:57

Dowager - You should do athread in chat asking everyone to sign a petition to "Save our Bacon". And if you don't get many signatures, you could do another thread berating everyone for not caring about one of our own

LineRunner · 13/03/2012 22:01

I could do a 'You should all hang your heads in shame' post. On both threads.

lesley33 · 13/03/2012 22:02

Go on linerunner!

Bewilderedmum · 13/03/2012 22:05

Hmmm - I think your defence should be a squeeky sofa cushion..

Redbindy · 13/03/2012 22:13

Unfortunately Roger you have mentioned your crime (commited in the stae that made George Bush president) on an internet forum that could be read by members of the Democrat party. You will be extradited, tortured in Guantanamo Bay and be publicly executed in front of Americans singing the stars and stripes.

Apart from that you have nothing to worry about.

lesley33 · 13/03/2012 22:18

And of course once you are in Guantanomo Bay Roger, the American Government will make vague statements linking you to terrorism so that any sympathy you may have had for your cause will evaporate. Still...always look on the bright side of life eh?

Triggles · 13/03/2012 22:22

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think it's against the law to fart in Guantanamo Bay. Grin

LineRunner · 13/03/2012 22:23

What kind of a name is 'Mitt Romney', anyway?

troisgarcons · 13/03/2012 22:24

So long as you werent eating ice cream in Carmel in high heels you should be safe

Hassled · 13/03/2012 22:25

If you fart deliberately while leaving a lift then frankly extradition is too good for you.

On the plus side, I'm sure orange suits your colouring and that those jumpsuits are really cleverly tailored.

Redbindy · 13/03/2012 22:29

You will not be allowed to fart while you are being executed, if you do they will put your corpse in front of a grand jury and insist that you are tortured and executed all over again. As would any reasonable person in the land of the brave and the home of the free (muslims, jews, hispanics excluded).

RuleBritannia - I think I know the bloke who wrote that - lives across the road from me. Was it this one?
