...I found a dead body at work...

[Darkest Angel]

...so all morning I have been catching whiffs of rot, right? Those of you who've been around a ripe dead animal or something know what I mean, its an unmistakeable aroma. Anyway, I finally get curious, and I try to track the smell...end up at the door to the office next to mine. Well, I know this guy is out for the day, so I let myself in...the stink hits me like a brick wall when I open the door...and sure enough, there's a body under the desk!

...a mouse body, that is. He has a bad habit of keeping food in his desk and has been having rodent problems because of it. I've been hearing about it at length. [img]graemlins/whatever.gif[/img] I figure the poor little bastard got capped sometime early in the weekend, judging by the reek...

That's one of the advantages I have with no sense of smell. I can only tell there's dead bodies around when they come back as zombies and try to eat my brains.

I assume you just shut the door again and let HIM deal with it tomorrow?

[Darkest Angel]

...unfortunately, now that I know the smell is not in my head, I cannot escape it. I had no choice but to dispose of the body properly...a small, tasteful ceremony was held mere moments ago.

...you see, the corpse is really quite useless when killed by mechanical means...had it had the slightest spark of life left in it, I could have broken its little neck myself and used its entrails to foretell the future...in the middle of tubby's desk...

But, in any case, what's done is done. I shall avenge the wee rodent by telling him it was dead in his drawer...with his precious [disdain] cheese nips [/disdain].

A worse, similar situation could have happened.

A small woodland creature could've crawled up into the bowels of your car, get caught up, and die in the suffocating heat.

Fast forward several hours later: You're coming out from work, you get in your car. You then turn the AC on full blast.

bah, I had two dead mice in my room once, didn't find them for a WEEK

...I think it was a murder-suicide, but the coroner's report isn't back yet.

It's interesting how something so small can create a god-awful decay stench.

I know somebody who spiked the coffee with laxative and kept a club with a nail in under his desk
