SWMBO's Strange Question?

**jonesfam** · 10th November 2016, 04:24 PM

Before I go on you must first realise that the SWMBO that I belong to is very strange at the best of times & down right weird on occasion.

On the phone last night she mentioned that there was a dead Roo on the road near our gate.
The conversation meandered on when she said that the Roo was really swollen & Rip.
Nothing to that you would think.
Then she says" I assume once the are full of gas & stuff it must escape somehow? Do the explode? Does it sneak out like a silent fart? Slow or fast? Loud or quiet?

I'm on the other end of the phone 1. Trying not to laugh. 2. Thinking "What did I marry?"

Then she says, she's serious, I think, "If they explode I would like to see the bird that pecks the first hole!"

So, I'm rolling on the ground picturing some poor Crow being ..... well, you know.

Then she says "I should work at a Body Farm, then I would know this stuff.."

So, if anybody know what happens once something dead has become over rip please let me know so I can set SWMBO's mind at rest & stop her moving to a Body Farm.

She was also concerned by an explosion as she drove past & who would clean her beloved Delica?

Hi,
Bloating is often accompanied by anal prolapse etc.

How ever I do know of a silly chap, many years ago, out shooting roo with a 303. Finding a bloated cow (drum tight) he decided to see how effective his bayonet would be as a lethal weapon.

Imagine green Vesuvius!!!! (the cow (pressure release))

Imagine yellow Vesuvius!!!! (him chundering)

He was forced to strip naked and wash in an icy stream before being allowed any where near the vehicles for the trip home.

Cheers

Once whilst working in a shearing shed a ewe had died in the shed during the night.The cocky had dragged it out and left it on the landing to be thrown on the back of a ute and disposed of.
It may have actually been dead for a couple of days as its belly was blown right up.
A shearer had his son with him on this day.At lunchtime we were all sat inside the shed eating lunch.The boy thought it was a great idea to sit on the dead sheeps belly.Much to the kids joy,the sheep let out a massive fart and burp as all the gas was released.Yes the breeze was blowing into the shed where we were eating lunch.It was disgusting,a few of the team were dry reaching.

I work with a guy whose wife is a forensic entomologist. They use pigs to study decomposition and insect colonies. They need to silicone up any holes created when despatching the pig so as not to influence natural processes.

In short. It is usually insects that cause any deflation.

I recall seeing that footage at school for some science lesson

Thanks for the memory.

I asked the other half who is a doc. Yep farting after death. Along with a few other body processes that also keep going. She started giving me way too much information
