Thread: ALWAYS Check that odd smell, Even if you THINK you know what it is.

Ok funny story that i figured i would give you all a good laugh. Especailly for those who did not have a joyous halloween.

For our family, our big halloween event is the weekend before. So halloween for us is a little "dead" (no pun intended.) My kids don;t really go TOTing. They make the block and they are done. I guess it helps that they are more in to the costumes and decorating than the candy piece of it. (YEAH FOR ME!!!)

Anyways, about Thursday of this week i had an odd smell in the cab of my truck. I kind of blew it off since i had some halloween stuff in back seat and my sandperson rifle was back there and i used latex glue to glue pieces together on it. The smell was like a latex type of smell. A little stronger though. So i go through the rest of the week and the smell is still there, again i assume it is my rifle and what nots in the tub half cracked open.

Today (sunday) i went my normal places to look for sales and picked up a bunch of stuff for next year. So i go about unpacking it all from the truck, pulled my rifle out, pulled the tub out and low and behold on the floorboard of the truck was a 3/4 rotted pumpkin. Seems someone (cough) my wife (cough) forgot to take the pumpkin out my son did at the weekend event. I went and grabbed it and there was ONLY about 1/3 of it left and the seeds and that was about all. Luckily i had the mats down but a lot still (drained) on the carpet. So i got to spend the afternoon cleaning the carpets in my truck. Fun stuff. Now in hindsight it all makes sense why my daughters pumpkin (that i took out) was on the front step but his was not.

LOL

hahaha! Sounds like something I would do!! (leave it in the truck like your wife)......At least it wasn't more than a week old.....

HAHAHAHAH... can you come find the smell in my fridge???

thats funny

Great story!

Poor Guy... It might be time to start buying the fake carvable pumpkins.

One year growing up,I was about 10 I think, we took the carved pumpkin and stuck it on the bookshelf in our bed room after Halloween. Mom did not notice it till it started to smell and get all fuzzy in the mouth. She picked it up and the entire backside was rotted. EWWWWW

Know what's worse than having a rotted pumpkin?
Having a dog that just ATE a rotted pumpkin. 'Nuff said...
