Yes, a fart in a hot shower. If you think about it, the steam rises to around the top of your eyes. Then if you fart it raises to connect with the base of the steam. Unfortunately for some reason fart smell doesn't make its way through the steam so it is stuck around your nose. So you're stuck smelling your own fumes, and of course when you fart in the shower it is usually one of those rotton nasty smelling things that would gag a skunk! I warn people not to fart in the shower, but they don't understand until they get into the shower and fart. I have to add my fart story...My ex and I were in church when the pastor called for a moment of silent meditation. I had to fart and figured that it would be a quiet one, no such luck. It was one that could rattle the rafters sound wise. I managed to stay innocent looking as everyone looked in our direction; but my exhusband turned scarlet and looked like he wanted to crawl under a pew (now I know why they call them PEWs!!!LOL). When we left the church and the pastor was shaking my ex's hand the pastor said "next time I call for a moment of silent meditation, could we please try to keep it silent?" I totally lost it and laughed like a maniac!

Hello Loverbear (I love your user name), Well, I guess that just about sums it all up. Next time I'm in a church, you will no-doubt be in my thoughts!! Thanks for your comment, GTG

I live in the countryside so Ive smelt the worst of bad smell. Silage is absolutely disgusting and when you have a sewage leak thats nearly as bad. But seriously, silage is the worst smell. Its where instead of cutting the dry grass they cut wet grass and bail it up. It starts to rot and then you open it up and feed it to cattle. Its disgusting.

I certainly take your point about the sewage ... not good is it? Yet, almost in contradiction to my above words, we could possibly include animal smells as a sort of sewage. Thanks for comment, GTG

Well, on my top five worst smells, five is road kill, 4 is road killed skunk, 3 may have to be burnt popcorn from the microwave, 2 on my list is burnt food, and number one on my list..... the container of mysterious stuff from the back of the fridge that you've no clue how long it's been there. And like an idiot you have to smell that container. lol

Good point - why is it, that every time we come to expect a vile smell ... we have to go and sniff it? We are all barking mad! Thanks for comment, GTG

I think the smell of puke is awful because it makes me puke too. To be honest I don't know if it is the smell or to be looking at it.

Yes, you're right are'nt you. Puke is blooming awful isn't it. Also, there's something about looking at it that makes it worse isn't there. Thanks, GTG

One is a skunk. Takes my breath away. Another stepping on a cat's poo. Lingers forever.
