The Burrito From Hell

There have been some really bizarre medical cases floating around in the past few weeks.
 
First, a guy was admitted to St Joe's Hospital in Ann Arbor after accidentally eating rat poison and put the hospital in full Haz Mat alert with space suits and restricted access when he started "expelling toxic fumes" from his body. Yeah, he was farting rat-poison gas. The hospital had to do extensive air purity testing to get the ok to reopen.
 
Not to be outdone, some trucker in New Zealand yesterday fell on an air hose fitting from his truck's braking system and the compressed air blew up his ass like a football and would have soon popped him had his buddies not come over and shut the air off.
 
I imagine these things have always happened but now with the internet they go viral across the world in short order.
 
But the real question is: which one of these is funnier?
 
My vote is the rat poison farts. I still can't stop laughing, especially at the way the radio announcer tried everything in her power to dance around the facts while still conveying the message. There's really no way to water down a story about poison farts closing down a hospital though.
