Skunks...

Driving to work this morning I saw something very rare in these parts...A live skunk! I had just turned onto another street and there in the dark he (or she) was. Running down the other lane just as fast as it's little feet could go. I drove by carefully, I didn't want to piss it off ya know, and I noticed something strange... Live skunks don't smell! I didn't smell anything! Amazing! Why I should think about getting one as a pet or something if they don't smell...after all they sure are cute! As I pondered this anomaly I continued on my way to work. After a few miles my eyes start to water and my nose is just picking up on a smell. It gets stronger and more intense as the miles pass by, and what do you know...dead skunk! The smell carries on the wind for miles, to the point that I'm breathing through my mouth, hoping I can make it. I take a sniff, nope still there, on we go. After what felt like forever, finally, the air starts to clear. Whew! I guess I won't get one of those cute things, for everything that lives, dies, and I don't want to have to pick that sucker up and bury it, the smell might never leave my nostrils....Oh well, I like my cats just fine anyway.....Well I 'm off to work the hair magic.
