Hello WS people. How many of us have had children in cars who have left morsels of food wedged between seats, fallen under seats or probably wiped their little hands all over the upholstery with whatever and everything else. Have you ever left a dirty diaper in the way back by mistake overnight? Have you ever had a dog puke in your car, cleaned it up as best you could but with no scientific knowledge about how to do it best but just as good as you could? Have you ever stepped in something and gotten into your car and driven home? Have you ever left wet towels in a plastic tub in the rear of your van and said "yuck" the next day when you retrieved them? Let's see, have you ever left - anything - in your car?
My scientific experiment: Having had all of the above happen in my car over the course of my lifetime I have never, ever gone to my car, opened the door and almost wretched because of something I left there. (dirty diaper came close but tossed it out, left the car doors open for a little bit and everything was fine) I have never, ever felt the need to exclaim that my car smells as if a dead body had been there. My dad is past 80 years old, I asked him "Dad, has your car ever smelled like a dead body? Fishing trips, trips with guys, trips with your son, trips when you forgot your underwear (joke), trips with us kids when we were little - well you get the picture. He said, "no, can't say that it has." Thanks Dad. Oh and Dad, what might cause your car to smell as if there had been a dead body there? Answer "A dead body." Thanks Dad.
