Wheel bearing grease is wretched. Old gas has no comparison to wheel bearing grease.

I can't say I'd go that far...hmm, a snack might be nice right about now. Guess I'll go see what looks good out in the shed...! (What happened to the barf smilie?) -TD

Hog barns are wretched. I was bird huntin in Nebraska with a buddy from Nebaska. We went looking for his buddy who was doing his hog chores. We had to walk through four hog feeder barns (about 100 yards long each) until we found him. I can take about anything but the smell in there about put me down. Some hog <!s**t>dung splashed up on my jacket without me knowin. A drop about the size of a pea. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I kept smellin that crap for the next few days and it was almost as strong as being in the barn. I think that the fresh air diluted it a little. When I discovered it I washed it out and I could still smell it. I had to dry-clean the thing to get it to stop. That stuff is wicked. Ever drive through Dalhart in the TX panhandle? Or is it Dumas? The highway goes right through a Cattle feed lot. You've gotta hold your breath for a couple of minutes through there. It is horrible. Got caught behind a manure truck once leaving that town. I couldn't figure out why we kept smelling it. I didn't realize the vehicle 100 yds in front of us was hauling manure until I got right up on it and pieces were falling off and shattering on the road in front of us. My 2 year old daughter puked in the front seat. Just as I realized what I was behind a procession of about a thousand cars came the other way on the two lane highway, so we couldn't pass. Out in the middle of nowhere all these cars decide to be there. Hadn't seen a car in hours and here comes all of them within a hundred mile radius.

Try smelling hockey gloves after only maybe about 1-2 months of use. I don't think it compares to hog barns, been around those. I think glove stink tops any automotive smell, though. It takes me 2-3 good hand washings to get most of the smell out, the rest of the stink hasta just wear off.

Dog farts have to be one of the most vile smells on the planet. I used to have German Sheperd who could clear a room with a swish of his tail. I think he liked it... -TD
