It still makes me laugh

When I was working on Monday, by myself, I happened to go into the staff kitchen. I noticed a poopy smell. I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what it was. There was no garbage bag in the garbage can so I assumed that maybe it was something in the kitchen sink drain. So, I poured bleach down the sink and tidied a bit, because it smelled so bad.
Out of the blue I thought....I wonder if that's what dead bodies smell like? So I remembered the mouse that I once found and freed out to the garbage room (where I thought he'd be happy)
So I looked under the microwave (his favorite hiding spot) and under the toaster...nothing. So then I looked behind the microwave stand....still nothing. I glanced into the garbage can again, and didn't see anyting. So, I just went about my business. It was possible that one of my bosses several pairs of shoes stored in the kitchen had contracted some doggy doodoo and tracked it into the kitchen. Plausible right??

Tuesday morning:
The smell was still here this morning. I'm not on crack. My boss could smell it too. She thought it was smelly too. ...just like poopy.
So I'm sitting at my desk when I hear a shriek from the kitchen. I think the worst, because I broke a glass this morning and I thought maybe Cathy was going to take out the garbage and sliced her finger open. It wasn't just one shriek...it was a woman having a spaz attack in the kitchen. Then I come running...ok...so not running, but I was walking fairly fast.


When I arrive in the kitchen, I see my boss standing holding the garbage can far away from her while going...ew, ew,ew,ew...ewwwwwwww.....Take it, take it! So I grab the garbage can. (I'm still confused at this point...I didn't see any blood) Then she tells me what happened.


When she went into the kitchen she could smell the poopy smell...so she thought maybe there was something rotten in the garbage can. She didn't see anything...so she picked up the garbage and took a big whiff! What she didn't see, was that there was in fact a dead mouse in the garbage can. It was just so dark that you couldn't see him from far away. I just about died laughing!! I'm still laughing about it. I'm laughing right now. She took a huge whiff of dead, decaying mouse. After I dumped the mouse, I came back with the garbage can and she looks at me like I'm crazy. 'I thought you would throw out the whole thing! Including the can!"
...me...'it was only a mouse, no sense throwing out the garbage can.
her...'I'm not washing it!"
me..."ok'
So she comes at me..or rather comes at the garbage can with windex...then pours some bleach in it...then some sunlight. She was looking for more cleaners, but I had to stop her. Man it was funny.
After filling the garbage can with some water...I came out to see my boss with a perfume sample to her nose. She was trying to get the smell out of her nostrils.
Man, I'm still laughing!!!
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaha hahahahahahahhahahahahah
(what I neglected to say, was that on Saturday she had put out the garbage...and didn't see the mouse...so technically she can't blame me...can she?"
