'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory


There is an ad on TV that prattles about scent being the strongest sense tied to memory. Unfortunately it isn’t an ad for Skunk-Be-Gone. So.....today’s science question will be, “What’s the deal with the skunks around here?”
“Do we have more skunks than usual this year? Are we more vulnerable to the dead skunk syndrome because of our location between two state highways, which would make our skunks statistically prone to being ‘unlucky’?”
And for music enrichment, let’s learn a favorite from mater’s highschool days...
Crossin' the highway late last night,
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right,
He didn't see the station wagon, car,
The skunk got squashed and there you are!
(Chorus)
You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road,
Dead skunk in the middle of the road,
Dead skunk in the middle of the road,
Stinkin' to high heaven!
Take a whiff on me that ain't no rose!
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose,
You don't have to look and you don't have to see,
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory
