A long time ago I helped dig out an old septic tank. It was in the way for new foundations. It was empty, any last residue had dried out. It hadn't been used for decades. I had this stink on me for a week, even after multiple showers every day with every type of soap I could think of. The smell gets into your skin.

My Dad was born on a farm. When he was young, he made the mistake of standing behind a cow when it coughed and farted at the same time. He was hosed down in the yard in the middle of Winter. Yes, it really happened. I had to laugh when he told me about it.

We had pan toilets at the house when we were kids. The men who collected them and their families had a permanent aroma, no one liked sitting next to the kids at school.
Many years ago there was a woman in a VERY expensive Merc driving in my home town.
As we went up the police station hill, she was tail-gating a cattle truck.
I learned a lesson this day but the posh lady in the flash white Mercedes Benz learned it more so than me.
All was good in her tailgating efforts until the cattle truck stopped at the roundabout at the top of the hill.
As the truck braked, all of the fluid and excreta must have washed to the front on the cattle crate.
Then the tsunami rushed back as gravity would dictate.
That image will NEVER leave my mind, she was absolutely sprayed with the most awful mess of sh*te I have ever seen!!!
I think she was in a state of shock as the bonnet, windscreen and roof got a coating of a very vile substance.
Lesson learned, she would never have tailgated a cattle truck again I will wager.
Me also, I give cattle and sheep trucks a very wide berth since when I spot one.
Re (I learned a lesson this day but the posh lady in the flash SILVER Mercedes Benz learned it more so than me.)
In heavy Traffic braked aggressively to avoid running over a Koala, that had moved off from the medium strip, the tail gating MB rear ended me and wrote off wife's Yaris. (and the MB)
Not 20 sec earlier I mentioned to SWMBO about the tail- gating. The Koala ambled back to the medium strip and his adjacent gum tree.
Wife treated by Ambo's and the attending police officer knew about the Koala as it had caused similat accidents in the past.
