I live in a small town in New England. As with most small towns, the tradition in town is that the departing high school seniors play a prank on the undergrads left behind.

Well, a few years ago, the senior class announced that they were much more mature than that, and that they would rise above the tradition of pranks and actually make a gift to the high school so that their class would be remembered fondly. This news, of course, was welcomed in town.

The day of the gifting came. With great ceremony the seniors presented the high school with a dozen or so gorgeous trees, the name of which I can't remember. They were planted with equal ceremony around the center patio that spilled from the dining hall and touched all the surrounding buildings. They were beautiful....

......until the next Spring....when they flowered. The stench was so bad that for 4 days, all the windows of the school had to remain closed and the patio could not be used.

The kids now refer to them as "*kitten*-Crack Trees."

I also have a tree story....GINKOS. They line the streets of Washington, D.C. and they are pretty. But beware the fruit pods! If you step on them, you will have what smells like dog poop on your shoes. Totally gross.

The stairwell at our gym (which our trainer makes us run up and down) reminds me of dissecting frogs in junior high...what is that, formaldehyde? (btw, only spelled that right because of spell check - you should have seen it before I corrected it!)

The freezer above the fridge started smelling kinda funky. I took everything out and did a thorough cleaning, defrosting, and even put a new box of baking soda in it. Every time you opened it you would get hit with that smell! It got worse, and worse, and worse! I did another cleaning and tossed everything that was in the freezer. It was still there! I took everything out of the fridge part and had my guy take all the shelves and drawers out so I could clean it. Under the vegie drawer there was a bag of goo.

My guy keeps a bag of batteries in the vegie drawer. About a week prior to the smell appearing he had been digging in the drawer for some batteries for his flashlight. He said he heard something roll and fall, and figured it was one of the batteries he had gotten out of the bag and put on the shelf. He didn't see anything, so he went on his way.... While digging in the drawer he had removed some bags of vegies to get at his batteries. The bag of goo was once a cucumber.... it had rolled off the shelf and under the drawer. Thank God it was still in the bag, I can't imagine how bad it would have been if it had not been in a bag!

The smell of sunblock on small children, always reminds me of ocean smells - guess cause of the association!

They might be Bradford Pear trees... They're gorgeous trees but the stench is awful. My college campus and the town I grew up in both were lined with them. Blech.

OK...I've got to know what kind of trees they were. And, did the seniors who bought them as a "gift" know that they would stink?:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I don't know the name of these bushes, but there are some that stink so bad when it rains. They smell like really strong cat urine and you can smell it from a block away! Add the summer heat to it and the muggy stench of cat urine will make your eyes cross :sick:
