I don’t know what was more incredible to read in this weekend’s Sunday Times. The fact that Joost van der Westhuizen’s wife farts loudly, or the fact that it is indeed a ‘penchant.’

To recap, the definition of ‘penchant,’ is:

a strong or habitual liking for something or tendency to do something.

So it’s not just now and then. It is HABITUAL and she has a STRONG liking for it.

How did all this come about? Well, a certain Gavin Prins from HEAT magazine has written a tell-all book about Joost and Amor, which details Joost’s various affairs and dramas. And of course the fact that Amor has a ‘penchant’ for farting loudly.

News24 expand:

According to the Sunday Times, Joost’s lawyers will take the matter to the Pretoria High Court on Tuesday where they will argue that the book will endanger the life of their client, by raising his stress levels. He suffers from motor neuron disease. They will claim the former rugby star’s right to life should outweigh Prins’s right to freedom of expression.

The book, written by former Rapport gossip columnist, Gavin Prins, tells a torrid tale of love, jealousy and betrayal. It also tells of Joost’s wandering eye and Amor’s penchant for farting loudly. In the introduction, Prins says Joost helped to confirm facts during the writing process and Amor gave her blessing.

Was that you? No, it was the dog. Hahaha!

You can’t dream these kinds of headlines.

We must rely on our local sports stars and B-list celebrities to do it for us.

And we thank them for it.
