A man went on a ski trip, and was knocked unconscious by the chair lift. He called his insurance company from the hospital, but it refused to cover his injury. "Why is the injury not covered?" he asked. "You got hit in the head by a chair lift," the insurance rep said. "That makes you an idiot, and we consider that a pre-existing condition."

Anti-fart cushion is a breath of fresh air A cushion which muffles farts and stops them smelling is on sale in the US. The gas-absorbing cushion contains a filter which lasts six months if used by a woman, but only three if used by a man. The husband-and-wife inventing team tested it by sitting down to a sausage and beans dinner. Co-creator Jim Huza, from Greenville, North Carolina, says the GasBGon is on sale through his website for around £15. It comes in a variety of eye-catching designs including Musical Solo, Silent but Deadly and The Winner's Circle. Huza, an engineer, says the idea was originally a fictitious project his wife Sharron came up with for her marketing class but he turned it into reality. He claims the cushion can absorb almost everything a fart can throw at it: "It incorporates a sound dampening element followed by a replaceable activated carbon material with an equivalent surface area to that of a football field." Sharron added: "The GasBGon cushion applies for all situations in which you would rather be safe than sorry." ananova.com
