Got a "yucky" story?

[QRTRHRS]

Thought we could use a good laugh backed up with a "oh man" thought like glad that was not me.

A few years back, one of my vets lived close by. This one happened to be a woman. Very good vet, very capable. I forget the reason but she had to palpatate a mare so she made us her first stop. About the time she got her arm in, the mare let go with a barrage of rather wet manure. Really wet manure... She pulled her arm out as I offered a towel. Not being able to contain myself any longer, I chuckeled as I apoligized for the incident and for laughing. I offered a clean shirt but she declined.

She got back to business and completed the task then left. Not sure if she went back home or what but she later told me that she learned a valuable lesson that day. Find some space in the truck for extra clothing.

We had a neighbour fall through the concrete lid on our septic tank. The concrete had rotted and he stepped on it to test it. Made a big impression on me at the age of 10. :licking:

Well, how many of you have walked into your house and smelled something "funny" only to find it was stuck to the bottom of your shoe? :laughing:

That is nasty.

Several years ago I was an Asst. Superintendent on a construction project. We were demoing a house and trees and putting in a gas station in Atlanta. Buddy was on a bull dozer cleaning up around the house so they could haul it off. Suddenly one track started to sink. He floored it and pulled away, but made a mess in doing so. I thought he had just hit a soft spot until I saw him run off the tractor and keep going. My first thought then was a wasp nest or something. Then the smell hit me. He had run over and collapsed the septic tank. It was everywhere.

For the rest of the week, I kept myself busy on the other side of the site with a chainsaw.

Last Thursday I was home alone building a dormer in our new house. It was snowing and I was monkeying around in the rafters with a nail gun. No, this is not a nail gun accident story. I slipped and caught my balance but hurt my right hand. When I looked at my hand, my ring finger was bent back in the middle. Glad I didn't have gloves on. They would have been a bugger to get off. Sorry no pics either. I wasn't near a ladder but I managed to climb down. While I was considering my options to get to a hospital I decided that I could not stand to look at the broken finger another minute. I grabbed the finger and pulled it to set the bone. It slipped back into place. Upon further inspection I found it hadn't been broken, just dislocated. Nice to still remember my first aid training from 1979. It hurt like heck for about 20 mins. A couple aspirin and some ice and I was back at work within the hour. Although I must admit I was a still bit shaken up and not ready to spend much time in the rafters that day. Wife came home later and immediately came out to see ask what had happened. Seems I had also cut myself and bled all over the door on my way in. I showed her the little cut and she calmed down.

When I was about 9, I was in the barn milking stall with my dad for the evening milking of our three cows. As he sat down on the milking stool to begin, the cow popped her tail up and let go with a brown stream. My dad jumped up and almost tripped while getting away. I started laughing at him and suddenly something warm spattered into my mouth. I began spitting and almost vomited while it was my dad's turn to have a good belly laugh at me.:laughing:

I don't know what made me turn to this thread while I was eating lunch, but I gotta say thanks for saving me the extra calorie intake. I sorta lost my appetite after that one:laughing:

It wasn't mixed correctly, and it looked just like a big slab of chalk. You could break it apart with your hands.
