One more thing: I once hit a skunk. You can't even begin to appreciate the circumstances that that situation creates. I was doing 70 mph and caught subtle movement out of the corner of my eye. It was 3 AM and my reaction times were, shall we say, lean. I just figured that whatever it was wasn't going to be where I was going to be...that was an incorrect assumption. The skunk waddled into the road with amazing speed. I hit it square with the middle of my bumper, the car was low to the ground and I could feel the skunk bouncing under the car. I got off the highway and remember thinking, as I stopped at the light, "Hey there's no smell, cool." A nanosecond later, the most horrible odor wafted from the vents, the open window, through the steel frame and quite possibly from the paint. Now, I've smelled skunks before, who hasn't? This was a new level of awful effluvience. It wasn't bad enough that I was going to have to remove skunk chunks from my car, but the skunk aroma was epic.
So for those of you that have hit a skunk, you know that the smell actually lingers for about 3 weeks, lessening in vileness eventually. For those of you that have never hit a skunk with a motorized automobile, don't.
