Poll question: What smells better?

2. Cat pee

That ammonia will open up my generally clogged sinuses and get them flowing...as well as my nose burning, and eyes watering.

in a 350 degree oven with a little cilantro.

5. mine's a long one

so there i was, 5 years old, with my little brother who was 3 at the time. we were with our grandfather and he had to stop at a friend's house to drop something off. this friend lived on a pig farm.

anyways, my grandpa runs inside real quick and tells us to stay in the car; naturally of course, we don't.

so we come across a small pool, very brown, very smelly, about 4 feet wide and who knows how deep. being a curious child, i carefully played with the contents of the pool with my shoe (a slip on shoe at that)...until it came off

now luckily for me it was just floating there, right on top. i couldn't reach it so i enlisted my little brother's support in order to retrieve my shoe (it was so cool there was no way i was going to let it go!)

so he leans over to try to grab my shoe...and leans...and leans...and leans until *BAM* he goes tumbling forward into a large pool of pig shit. luckily for him, it was only a couple of feet deep, and nothing below his shoulders was submerged or dirtied at all...but of course, he was 3 and he burst out into tears.

right at that exact moment my grandpa comes out of the house and has a look on his face that i have yet to see again, yelling "what the HELL are you kids doing????"

so they lined the backseat with plastic, wrapped my brother in blankets, and upon arriving back at my grandparents house, he tells my grandma to "start the shower" as he's carrying my still bawling brother into the house.

the best part? i got my shoe back, with nary a spot on it.

11. the town i grew up in

was one of those towns that tried to pretend that they weren't surrounded by farms on all sides...but catch a bad wind...yikes!

13. i lived in the Netherlands for 3 years

Every time I smell pig shit or bus exhaust I am immediately transported back to the time I spent there.

[progmom]

[RevolutionaryActs]

16. Up there it clearly says: "my big toe"

It does NOT say "progmom's big toe"

:P

[progmom]

17. um.

progmom typed that, therefore it is progmom's big toe.

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. No.. no no no

My way makes MUCH more sense. :dunce:

[JimmyJazz]

15. Clearly there is only one correct response: Your big toe

after it has been in my mouth! :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. You girls must stop being so kinky!

:evilgrin:

[progmom]

21. oh, behave!

[Rhiannon12866]

19. I'm not qualified to answer.

I've never smelled either cow or pig poop, and, in fact, have never seen either animal close up. Dog and cat poop I'm used to. Neither are pleasant, but better than anything that comes from humans.:shrug:

22. Best stinky smell story........

One of my best friends wanted to show me the view from the top of a hill near his house. So one late afternoon in late summer we went to catch the sunset from the top of that hill.

When we got there we were amazed at the view: extremely vast, it went on for miles, and on one side the sun was setting and on the eastern horizon the full moon was rising. Absolutely stunning.

Then a breeze began to blow from the north just behind us.

Oh my God I've never smelt such a stench. It came and went for a few minutes so we were able to handle it but then it was gaggingly overwhelming.

"What is that?" I asked.

"It's the chicken farm just over that hill" he said.

You see there had been a drought for weeks, and the practice of the chicken farmers was to take all the chickens that had died from the heat in the chicken houses and dig a pit and set fire to it. They did this at the end of the day, every few days when they had enough dead chickens to warrant the effort.

The smell was rotting chicken corpses plus chicken shit plus the feathers. I think it was the fact that the feathers were burning at the same time that made it so ghastly. The wind had been in our favor all the while until just at a certain point. We had to run down the hill and away from it, but my nose was so full of that most unbelievable foul stench I can still smell it 25 years later.

Good stinky smell story, eh?

[progmom]

23. that is a good stinky smell story
