Pig shit is MUCh worse than cow shit.
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....

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

If I only had a brain...
In North Carolina, there are giant factory farms raising pigs, with their accompanying giant pig-shit lagoons. Ugh.

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 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.

Ooh, I was not aware of the pig-shit lagoons.
How do chicken farms rank on the shit-smell-o-meter?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Wow, and I thought the funk coming off the Abbott Labs plant near here was bad. Though it's never fun when the wind is coming off the sewage treatment plant near my grandfather's orchard.

Chicken plants smell really bad. Arkansas (home of Tyson) has a bunch of them, and boy howdy. You know exactly where they are.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I never knew Abbott smelled...my dad used to work there but I never stopped to smell it. I was always driving by on the highway so I was mostly inhaling car exhaust.

Punishingly Intricate
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...
And where I grew up in Delaware (you know, like 10 or so miles away) it smelled like...DuPont I guess. Scary chemical smells = Massive wave of nostalgia for me.
Greensboro, NC, where I went to grad school smells like cedar. Very nice.

Stinky chemicals and sterilized manure. Home, sweet home.
ETA: It's a lovely little state. With beaches! So there's also the saltwater breeze smell. Just to throw out a pleasant association. t pats Delaware on the head

My friend who went to an Agricultural College always said pigs smelled the worst.
