The problem with passing by skunk

is that you have to roll down the windows of your car to air out your car once you’re out of the range of the skunk.

You know, if there’s a worse odor than skunk, I do not want to ever know about it.

    Knowledge is power, and the answer is yes - the smell produced by a carton of milk spilled in your car a few days ago.

    The odor of a male billy goat may be worse than skunk. If you come in contact with it as might happen if a billy goat sprays on you, wash with soda in water and the odor goes away. Tomato juice is suppose to work to get rid of skunk odor.

    Teshuvah, you have just made me even more happy that I’m a city girl at heart and will never, ever live near a goat.

    And Snoopy, you’ve reminded me that although I adore them, sometimes, I’m pretty glad I don’t have kids.

    I grew up in the country. Plenty of skunk. One time our dog, then a puppy, proved too curious for his own good and got himself sprayed. Yipes — it was awful.

    You’re only getting the ‘after-glow’. If you ever get a full dose of this stuff it is a whole nuther world. Most mamals start to gag uncontrolably and can be temproarilly blinded. The experience goes far beyond mere smell. It’s a multi-sensory experience. All bad.

    Sea lion breath, which I’ve experienced first-hand. Oops, you didn’t want to know…..
