God does have a sense of humor

The thing I thought was the funniest was that poor truck driver, if we hadn't moved he was going to plow right over us. He was bound and determined to get away from that eu de skunk. He must have been from the north and isn't used to our lovely 'polecats' around here.

Oh my gosh, I can't imagine anyone loving that smell! When we moved into our house (22 years ago), we discovered that skunks shared the space with us. They lived under the house and every night they'd spray. ACK! It was winter and I'm opening all the windows in the middle of the night because we couldn't breath! Replacing the stone foundation became a top priority so they couldn't get under there anymore. That was one rough winter. I felt especially bad for my daughter that had to get on the school bus smelling like skunk all the time. Poor kid!

Hope you get the taste out of your mouth soon AngelsBreath!

Dead Skunk In the Middle of the Road!!!

Stinking to high heaven!

I just had to finish it.

Funny story. My wife likes the smell of a skunk. It clears her sinuses and lets her breathe better.
A few months ago we were at Lake Havasu staying at a nice place and we were wandering outside and suddenly there was a commotion from some of the other guests. There was a skunk in the area and close by according to my Okie born nose.

So these 'enlightened' people were running around trying to find it and drive it away (i guess). "Idiots" I muttered under my breathe, "Let it alone and it will leave on its own!" I said in a louder voice. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

Ok I'm crazy enough to know if you mess with the skunk you get the stink. My Daddy didn't raise any stupid boys.

My wife and I did the wise thing and leave the idiots to their fate.

i have read that skunks do not like their smell any more than we do. therefore, releasing that stench is a last ditch effort to drive away a threat. they will posture, stomp their front feet, and look as menacing as they can before resorting to turning around and spraying.

when i was about 12, i already had a way with critters. one of my neighbors caught a skunk in their live trap and didn't know what to do. i volunteered to release it. i got on all fours and crawled slowly up to the trap, speaking in a calm voice. he did stomp at me a bit, but never offered to spray, even when i sprung the door on the trap and let him out. he waddled away indignantly and that was that.

Awwwwwww bless her heart lol. Poor baby, hey, when I was 5 I was bit by a skunk, my brother caught it by the tail and I thought it was a kitty and I went to pet it and that's when it got me. He got scared and tossed the skunk and away it went, my mom and dad freaked out, grabbed us up, threw us in a clorox bath before they even realized that it had bit me....Needless to say, 14 days and 14 rabies shots later, I still am holding a bit of a grudge. This morning going down the interstate I felt a bit like captain Hook when the heard the crocodile, my eye started twitching and I think I got a bit of a tic in my cheek lmao.

Fun times indeed!

And now the rest of the story.

When we came back through about 10 minutes later the area was clear of people but from the smell in the area it appeared that the skunk won.

Paul Harvey, good day.

hahahaha BostLabs, you know when to walk away huh? Good for you!

 

[Plumes.91]

My daughters best friend in high school loved the smell of skunk
True story!

lol.......

all of my friends in highschool loved the smell of skunk too!

 

[BostLabs]

Oklahoma (at least Green Country was) is full of skunks. (and possoms, coons (raccoons that is), rabbits and all sorts of other critters that seem to love to wander in the path of cars on the highway).

You learn fast or you stink a lot.

had an epiphany, God does indeed have a sense of humor. Why? Well...take the skunk for example.

If you want proof of God's sense of humor, you need look no further than circumcision. You have to picture it. God has told Abraham, who is 99 years old and that he will be the father of many nations - and makes it a convenant. Abraham is stunned by this. He's 99. Even he knows he doesn't have the steam to be a father. Then God adds another whopper and tells Abraham the symbol of this covenant will be circumcision. So there he is, 99 and finds out he is going to be a father AND, AND has to trim part of his penis off! If that's not a sense of humor, I don't know what is!


If that doesn't do it for you, just look at the Platypus like BostLabs said. God was up in heaven thinking "I have some spare parts left over from the duck, the beaver and the otters I was putting together. Hmmmm. I bet if I mixed them all together, that would make them smile!"

hahahaha HauntedMyst..oh yes He does indeed have a sense of humor!! I'm sure I can come up with many other things as well...me for example lol

Fresh skunk, no agruements, it's straight up ewwww. But after a day or two it smells like puppy breath. Grin. Then I like it too.

Ya notice the Bible left out the part where Abe went to his buddy's house and said, "Hey, I need you to do me a favor.....", because you know he didn't circumcise himself !!

That's where the phrase, "DO WHAT !?!?!" came from.

Little known fact.

Late one night while tooling down a dark country road on my motorcycle, I ran over an already-dead and bloated dog. It's, um, "essence", if you will, was splattered on my front disk, engine, exhaust, my riding boots and shins. You wanna talk rank ?? Permanently stained my pipes and engine. Couldn't get that smell out of my nose for hours. I swore I could taste it. Tossed my boots and jeans.

I think I would've tossed my dinner with that.

There are critters in this world that make me laugh...dung beetles for instance, fighting over balls of poo!

Love me a good skunk story, like the time my friend rented a house in San Diego that was built out over a canyon. The hillside was terraced, and we'd sit down there and talk. Gradually, the local skunks became pretty tame, mostly because he fed 'em. Eventually they would scratch at the screen door if their dinner of catfood wasn't out on the porch when they expected it. Well, Kevin moved up to Washington state, and I still laugh every time I think about whoever rented that house next, along with its unexpected pets.

 

[XeniaMike]

You are so right, the industrial park I work in seems to have families of skunks living around. Once in awhile, luck runs out for one of them, and the whole hood reeks. Unfortunately, since it's the end of my commute, the smell gets to stay in the car cabin and ferment all day in the sun. I am just glad the heating/air conditioning doesn't suck it into the building.

I have a funny story to tell, it's not about an animal, well, not really lmao.

I live in the south and as most people know, it is a strange world down here lmao. Well, strange to the folks who aren't from around here anyways! That being said, here goes.

I had a friend who was using a bush hog to clear out a field one day and during his clearing he accidentally ran over a telephone box that was covered up by tall grass. Well, he backed the bush hog up and called the phone company on his cell phone and told them what had happened. Eventually, the phone company sent someone out to fix the torn up box. Meanwhile a couple of the guys friends who lived in the area had come up and they were all standing out around a pickup truck just talking. The phone company's repairman pulled up but didn't get out. The guys just assumed he was calling the phone company or whatever. A good 30 minutes had passed and one of the guys decided to go and ask him what the heck was taking so long. He walked over, half expecting the guy to be eating or sleeping or whatever and knocked on the window. The driver rolled the window down about half way and the guy asked him if there was a problem, what he was waiting for. To which the repairman, being from Michigan said "I was waiting to make sure the bush hog was gone before I get out, I don't have anything in my truck in which to defend myself and I'm not taking any chances of getting hurt by any wild animals.

The End!

Moral of this story? Beware the bush hogs or, get a southern dictionary before you move here

 

[BostLabs]

I was waiting to make sure the bush hog was gone before I get out, I don't have anything in my truck in which to defend myself and I'm not taking any chances of getting hurt by any wild animals.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Good thing I quit smoking so I can laugh so long.
