The ground crew must have previous experience with this kind of thing and/or some kind of magic chemical. Given the carpeting and other fabrics on the plane, it's hard to imagine the stench dissipating in only two hours.

Kat--Once you smell a skunk, you will NEVER forget it! and the one time you first smell a skunk, you will say, "Damn!!! a skunk!!!" They stink for many kilometers when they spray their smell.. It is part of a defense mechanism. when they are scared, they spray a horrific smelling liquid, and if you get it on you, you will stink for a while...

anything black with a white stripe running down its back and just may look like a friendly little kitty cat, walk the other way....

kat, they are actually like a colorful "Cat" and very friendly providing you do not corner one & not make any sudden movements (Then it is all over hehe). I did feed one out of my hands one time, took close to an hour to coax it out of the bushes for some food, but I never took my eyes off the tail!

Have always smelled one (Being from the NE USA orig.), from a distance, not too bad....but had a super stupid Doberman that took off (Usually good on call but...), after one on a walk. Was funny watching this critter haul ass until I heard a yelp and my Doby came a runnin' then I knew I was in trouble as the skunk was behind the dog chasing it for a short jaunt. My stupid dog returned and tried to get super close to me for comfort. The smell was so strong that it was nauseating. Very difficult to describe...can almost make you vomit hehe.

smelled one today on the golf course. best you could say of the smell is that it is a bit gamey, not so much putrid, because their is a natural wild scent to it, but gamey, very strong.

admittedly, arriving can feel great too

Kat, here in the US you will often encounter skunk odors while driving on a country road or highway because they get killed quite often as they cross the road......"...dead skunk in the middle of the road..."

Somehow skunks can be deskunked so they can't emit that odor and can be docile pets.

Esanch - i don't agree. There's no way the skunk smell has any resemblance to marijuana from a distance. The smell of a skunk is absolutely fowl.

There are lots of skunks around here. Once I had my dog`s friend with me from Arizona, and about 2:am he started to bark frantically, I thought it was cat or something, I let him out and it was a skunk!, he was crying and so was I and my son. I only had caned tomatoes, so I blend them and pour them over the dog, and shampooed him at 2:00 am! it was horrible!. He had to sleep outside all wet and in the cold. "que en paz descanse"

Days later.... when we walked, people would said: " your doggy got skunked?"

Tejas - jeje..."or so i heard"..jeje

I lived (with my bf at the time) in the Emerald Triangle for a bit, so I was around the stuff all the time. Once we had a guest who brought over a pan of brownies. Not unusual for someone to bring something over for the hostess when coming for dinner, I thought "how thoughtful" plus it was a guy and I had no idea he knew how to bake, figured he took alot of thought into cooking a gift and bringing it over. Well...yeah ja! He sure did put a lot of thought into it.
In the Emerald Triangle...it's sticky and really potent stuff!

I think I took 2 or 3 bites to be a good hostess....OH mY Dog! It was horrible! I was hallucinating, my stomach hurt, I felt like I could not breathe, room spinning, I thought i was surely going to die. My bf was allergic to chocolate, so never tried, but he figured out what was happening.

Later the guy apologized and figured we "knew" - he also admitted he put much more in than he ususally did. I gotta tell you, if there is such thing as an oral OD of THC I think I was prettty close...no more mystery brownies for me! jaja

TM, you are tripping bro jeje...

I was living in Northern Maine many years ago....dropped by a friends house, walked up on his front porch and there was 2 skunks (youngsters). I slowly walked around them, but they could not have cared less that I was there, nor did they feel frightened/cornered even though they had the upper hand jeje. I knocked on the door and the wife answered...after a couple seconds of greetings, I asked her if they had a couple of freelancing pets. She asked what I meant and I pointed to the 2 visitors at which she screamed and slammed the door. My friend opened the door laughing and said I had some balls and that they have been around for some time.

Mr. Hollywood says on Jun 22, 2008, 17:15:

Skunks are some of the least aggressive animals you could ever meet. They only spray when they're really feeling cornered or when they get run over.

I kind of like the smell at a great distance and find it totally noxious up close.
