Do'nt you hate it when some moron puts the fish guts and other leftovers in the garbage and it sits in the sun for several days? I got that situation right outside my shop door.

There is a missing word. I think it might be "garbage" or "dumpster." But "back seat of your car" would be good too.
 
IT's MAD-LIBs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let go:

"urinal"

"coin return"

"payload bay"

"range box"
 
On a related note... I left a shrimp salad sandwich in my college roommates car the night before we left for spring break...

In the trunk or up under the dash?

Only happens when you piss off the skipper...don't ask me how I know.
 
On rear window ledge / shelf... I was distracted by the other backseat passenger.

I poured in a couple of drops of Ford Limited Slip additive down the vent cowl in a co-worker's car once about 15 years ago. It's made of fish guts too.

I didn't really like the guy.
 
Kind of embarrassing/funny thing happened to me. I have a penchant for some rather odiferous consumables, Smoked Norwegean Herring and Danish Estrom cheese. I very rarely ever found them together but one day while driving taxi I did and happly munched down my favorite foods during lunch. Unfortunaly I got a call from the cab service. I picked up this lady and I could tell she'd got a whiff...

I heard from the company about it later. Woman called and said I had a terrible personal bodyodor... yeaah..you could look at it that way...sheesh:blush:

Coyote pee on a car radiator is only reserved for the very deserving.

However, those little sticky discs that come with Japanese Beetle traps are always good for a laugh when placed under a wheel well.....
 
The missing word is GARBAGE Sorry, I got a little ahead of myself and forgot to type it in.

Makes for a good fill in the blank game though.

Then that would make it a raccoon...dang- STILL wondering why the otter crossed the road. One of life's unexplained mysteries.....
 
I was intensely confused since you went back and added garbage to the OP...I arrived late to the Mad-Lib party :(

I don't even want to know how you get the coyote pee.

They sell it (along with fox pee) at my local garden center. One drop on each end of the rows of my green bean plants and Peter Cottontail heads for the next county!:grin:

Q: Why did the otter cross the road?

A: To prove to the armadillo and opossum it could be done!:grin:
 
Jim and Ed win an all- expenses paid holiday to the trash can nearest them! Congratulations for playing TRF Mad Libs!!!
 
I used to work for United Gas Pipeline in ROW maintenance (mowing ROWs) and periodically the guy I worked with had to replenish the odorant just upstream of the gas meter going to the company office (used to be company housing, but that was long gone) and break room and stuff... it was a huge filter with a plug and valve in the top. You'd pour a shot of methyl mercaptan into a measuring glass, take the plug off the top, and pour the shot of mercaptan in on top of the valve, screw the plug back in, and then open the valve... this allowed the shot of mercaptan to run down out of the valve onto the filter element, adding the odor to the natural gas, which we were tapping directly off the fuel lines feeding the 1400 horsepower compressor engines in the compressor power house. Of course the gas they were compressing, straight from the wells, transported to the compressors by 36 inch gas pipelines, was odorless... until of course the mercaptan filter!

The mercaptan was kept in a 5 gallon jug in a tiny little 'outhouse' storage building on one side of the site... when the morning sun heated that thing up and the wind was blowing the right direction, Lordy mercy... especially in the morning when the air was damp and heavy and particularly good at carrying odors...

I always thought that a good way to get back at someone you TRULY despised would be to put an eyedropper full of mercaptan in their car... might as well haul the thing to the crusher... it'd stink to high heaven til it was melted down...

On the flip side of that, I had a mouse get killed in the fan or ductwork of the air conditioner of my old '77 Suburban I drove to work out there, and after a few days it was getting QUITE ripe... as it was, I was cleaning out old paint and stuff out of the warehouse-- we had to toss anything that the label was shot on, gone, or covered up with spilled paint so that you couldn't read the DOT or EPA numbers on it (OSHA regs) though I DID get a nice pickupload of partial cans of paint, including some VERY good aluminum pipeline paint-- (you paint with that stuff and it's painted for a LIFETIME!) In cleaning out the warehouse, I found an old "time release spray" can of ozone deodorizer... I asked the guy I worked with if I could have it, and he said "sure". Went to the Suburban over lunch and sprayed the little "spritz time-release" nozzle several times in each vent, up under the dash, and in the vehicle, down the cowl vents, and then locked it back up for the afternoon. Got in the vehicle at 5pm, and the dead ripe mouse odor was GONE... fresh as a daisy...

Later! OL JR :)
