OMG, that was too funny! I had to get Matt up here to read it. We are planning a 'stinky veggie' covert op using the mushrooms in my fridge, which are still tightly wrapped but very brown and slimy; you just KNOW that's going to smell bad! Also rotten onions and potatoes get extremely nasty, at least in MY pantry. We've got the perfect yard already picked out.
That story kinda reminded me of the summer I worked for the city. I have the dubious honor of being the first female garbage woman in our town. (Hey, I was 19, it paid well, and we only picked up garbage two mornings a week!) Mostly, they made me drive the truck, which was very fun and educational! I can drive anything, back up anything (almost, I never did get the hang of backing trailers) anywhere....
However, I was the newbie member of our crew, so of course I got the sh*t jobs. We would hoist a dumpster to the back of the truck, take it out to the dump, where they would give me a hoe and a hose, and some really strong detergent, and I would have to scrape/clean out the dumpsters. The dumpsters from restaurants.... the city park.... the ball fields.... anyplace with food was pretty gross. We also have a lot of local fisherpeople, who I swear would go 'dumpster dumping' in the wee hours of the morning, the night after we emptied the dumpster. I know for a fact the gals at the fabric store did not fish; when the dumpster dumpers struck them with fresh fish guts, they would call us several days early and demand an immediate dump!
Of course, the icky dumpsters were always 2 inches deep in maggots and slimy brown sticky sludge, and I would have to crawl halfway in (I'm short, the dumpsters were on their sides), scrape out the mess, then hose and spray.
Well, as the only girl, there was NO WAY I was going to let those sorry sons of maggots know how gross I actually thought that was! So I scraped, gagged, sprayed, gagged, sprayed again, and finally learned how NOT to gag. ( ;D SMILE very, verry big, it helps, and you can also breath thru your teeth). After that, cleaning out the garbage truck was a cake walk!
And to this day, I have no problem whatsoever with those wimpy little weevils.

In case anyone has to deal with stinky stenches from decomp, a little Vix Vapo-Rub just under the nostrils really, REALLY helps. Unless you are an experienced maggot scraper like Karen! ;D

Yep, ex-maggot scraper. Just don't tell my son that I have de-weeviled the mac and cheese.

Oooooh, now that is gross! I only looked for like a couple of seconds. I know that must go on after you are buried. I'm leaning towards cremation more and more.........
