Dead dog?

I'm reminded of the youngster who accidently drops his toothbrush in the toilet. When he retreives it and starts to wash it off his Dad stops him and tells him he better just throw it out and they'll get a new one. So the kid throws it in the trash, then takes his Dad's toothbrush and tosses it in the trash as well. "What did you do that for" his Dad asks. "Well, I dropped yours in the toilet last week" he says.

Maybe your Dad preferred Chinese food?

Something to think about. :)

Just like the dogs coming in the front door -

Yeah but im sure the pee will have soaked up into the endgrain of the feet and ONLY when you move it to take it inside will it really start to release its odour . . . OK kill the DOG

NO!NO!NO!

Absolutely NOT - do NOT get lulled into a false sense of bravery because you think you wife is rational.

wives are NOT rational when it comes to dog ( or cat ) pee!! DAMHIKT!

You have been WARNED!

We had neighbor dogs just like that. The Bumpous hounds...

Topcoat with shellac, which blocks all sorts of things.

Never, ever, mention this to her!!!!!!!!!!

Or, you could donate it to charity and build another one.

What a coincidence! Our neighbors last name was Bumpus!

Sounds like we have the same wife - or at least identical twins :-).

Nope. Jean Shepherd died in 1999. He was "the Boy Named Sue," by the way.

I do not know of any woman that cannot smell everything.

I've been trying to identify a phantom smell in my wife's Jeep for 3 months. Apparently, only she can smell it, so I know exactly what you mean.

On occasion, she's been with me in cabinet or auto body shops, where there's a SLIGHT overhanging lacquer scent. You know, that sweet paint / finish smell that makes one of us go ummmmmmmmm, shooooop sssssssssmel.... By her reaction, you'd think we were touring the sewage treatment plant, or a Chinese plastics factory, and we will die within minutes.

Much entertainment value is obtained by placing the empty box and packing materials from a Chinese-made stationary power tool in the living room for a few hours... All of you know THE SMELL!

The same goes for the car making odd noises or acting funny only when she is alone in the car. The minute you drive the car with her, the car acts normally and the noise mysteriously disappears.

Saw a bit on the news about that "new car smell" actually being quite toxic. Damn! Everything thats good eventually causes cancer.

Life is 100% fatal.

Many years ago the comedian, George Carlin, reported that researchers had discovered that saliva causes cancer. But only when swallowed in small quantities over a long period of time.

As CW relates... Nobody is getting out of life alive, so enjoy it to the maximum and don't worry about how MUCH time you have, but how much you enjoy it.

"Chinese factory smell" is NOT a pleasurable experience, even to those of us who are overly sensitive.

The Joe Barta entity posted thusly:

Not hard to understand, I suppose, since it probably comes from all sorts of outgassing from new plastics, adhesives, and so on. Makes you wonder, though about the "new car smell" aerosol cans. Are they benign imitations of toxic fumes, or the real thing?

Our love is like a new car smell Sooner or later it all goes to hell Somebody farts or spills some Taco Bell Our love is like a new car smell.

I'd probably experience a measure of stress and the wear on my psyche if my new car smelled bad. I figure the shortening of my life because of the toxins of "new car gas" would be balanced by the benefit I'd get from the satisfaction of a new car.

Repackaged factory waste. LOL. Actually I worked in the car industry for almost 30 years and none of the "NewCar" aerosol sprays smelled like a new car to me. But then again I hardly notice the new car smell at all any more.
