Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

If I only had a brain...

My home town smelled like the Purina pet food plant. Ewww.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When you enter Bear Creek, WI, you can smell sauerkraut. (But only during and shortly after the cabbage harvest.)

You used to be able to smell cow shit all around where I grew up. But hardly any farmers in the area have cows anymore.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My office is near a chocolate factory. It smells like chocolate all time, especially during the winter. And then it smells like hot chocolate.

Art Crawl!!!

When you take the commuter train into Chicago you can smell chocolate from the Blum (?) chocolate factory. Or you could.. . I don't now if it's around anymore.

Pig shit is MUCh worse than cow shit.

There were many mushroom farms in the general vicinity where I grew up in Del. Not so many now. Anyway, the mushrooms are grown in sterilized manure, so...

They also attract these teeny, tiny little mushroom flies (that fly far afield of the actual mushrooms, unfortunately) that fit through the holes in window and door screens. They have a vaguely licorice smell when swatted.

Yeah. Except our neighbors used to liquify their cow manure and spray it over their fields with a shit cannon. (Although I don't think it was called a shit cannon.) That really amplified the smell....

In North Carolina, there are giant factory farms raising pigs, with their accompanying giant pig-shit lagoons. Ugh.

My grandfather raised pigs, but it was a small family farm, not a factory. The pig shit was at a normal level. The birthing barn didn't smell so good, but it wasn't horrible, either.
