Passive aggression at it's best!?ÿ
Feces... nope sorry.?ÿ ?ÿ Fences make good neighbors.
Hell, I'd plant marigolds all along the top of the pile.?ÿ?ÿ
Dry weather nearly eliminates the aroma.?ÿ Wet weather is a different story completely as the ammonia releases.?ÿ Spent too many weekends wielding a scoop shovel in a 10,000 laying hen building.?ÿ You get to where you don't even notice it, until you get a big whiff of fresh air.
I know a guy who sometimes drives truck loads away from a huge chicken facility. Doesn't have to scoop it. If he walks into a business before a shower and change of clothes, people notice.
When it decomposes they'll have the greenest grass around.?ÿ When my family operated a dairy they kept a manure distributor wagon parked by the milking barns.?ÿ Scoop up the manure, load it in the wagon, and drive it around the pastures.?ÿ The chain rakes would distribute the "load" and kept the pastures green.?ÿ You just get used to the smell.

That is exactly what happened to a co-worker late one afternoon/early evening as some sleet was coming down.?ÿ The ramp we went up was firmly secured to a landing area as long as the manure spreader.?ÿ We would dump as needed to completely fill the spreader then pull it out into a pasture to unload.?ÿ That was the closest I ever heard that fellow come to swearing and I've known him my entire life.?ÿ I think it was the mouthful plus that shoved up his nostrils that about did him in.?ÿ Laughing out loud was NOT a good idea at the time.
At least he knows where his corner is; he's holding a capped rod in one of the shots on the video.
One of my funniest and favorite childhood memories was a manure mishap.
My dad grew up on a farm but became a mailman when he married my mom.?ÿ In his 30s he got the idea to rent some land and farm it after work using his parent's equipment.?ÿ The land was located along the edge of a valley filled with trees and houses down below.?ÿ The fields were a little bit windswept and the owners didn't take very good care of them anyway, so when my dad was approached by the state fair commission to ask if they could dump manure from livestock shows (fairgrounds was several miles away) in the fields he agreed.
My dad drove my brother and I up to check out the operation one evening and the manure trucks had dumped "ant hill" type piles on the ground rather than rolling and dumping.?ÿ I remember my dad being annoyed but since he didn't specify how they dump it he decided he'd just find a way to solve the problem.?ÿ The piles had a bunch of straw in them for animal bedding so my dad decided he'd just light them on fire to burn out the straw and then he could drag a cultivator through to knock the rest down and spread it out.
So he lit these manure piles on fire and they kind of smoked and smoldered.?ÿ We watched for a while and since the fields were bare dirt at the time and there was no danger of it spreading we packed up to go home.?ÿ We got on the road and turned to head down into the valley when we see this enormous burnt poop haze filling the entire valley.?ÿ I have never laughed so hard in my life because this was about the middle of July and everyone and their dog most certainly had their windows open to enjoy the perfect summer weather.
My dad was pretty embarrassed of course but there wasn't anything anyone could do about it at this point so we continued home.?ÿ Later that night or maybe the next day my dad got a phone call from the local fire department asking what the hell was going on because apparently they were getting phone calls.?ÿ Naturally, this made it even more funny.
The plan actually worked though because the manure piles were probably half the size and he was able to swing a cultivator through them to spread them out.?ÿ I'll never, ever forget that giant poop fog though...
Crew comes in and says; here's that stone you wanted us to find...
PS (could be a good cartoon, @wendell)
@dougie I once brought a drill hole back to the office to show the boss.
?ÿ
We found a drill hole that had purportedly been set in a stone by another company, but was actually set in a clump of moss on a stone. We figured it must have been frozen solid, and the guy drilling it thought it was lichen-covered rock he was drilling in to. So we located the hole, removed the now-thawed moss clump, set a proper hole in the rock, and brought our treasure back to the office.
