In Germany they use liquified sheep dung as fertilizer. Sometimes the tank leaks on the way to the field. A wonderful new smell, and slippery too. Ya'll be careful now, hear?

The big stink around here are the rigs hauling chickens to the slaughter houses. Getting caught at a red light behind one of those in the summer is enough to make you lose your lunch.
