Title: Eye watering experience
Post by: The Woodsiders on October 18, 2012, 08:54:44 pm
Been out today to deliver and install 2 arks, one had to be placed in the pen where pigs were running about, lovely pigs, very helpful especially the one that decided to bite my elbow, anyway finished the job and anxious to get home, decided to drive home without changing my boots, being a bit chilly I turned the heater up, after about 5 miles my eyes started to water :'( and the van got a bit wiffy, realised the heater was working on the pig poo collected on my boots, reckon it was nearly as potent as tear gas. Lesson learnt change your boots before driving. :dunce:

i know this is a "light" amusing thread but being bitten sounds painfull. Did anyone read about the pig farmer in the USA who they think was eaten by his own pigs. He had kept pigs for years, was in his 70s and had some big pigs. They found his false teeth bt somehow the "coroner" felt he had been eaten by his own pigs probabley after an heart attack.

Hi Mak, yes the bite was a mite uncomfortable, reminds me of the time I was in the desert and got stung by a scorpion bloody painful, the doctors fought for days but----------
 
The scorpion died in the end ;D
