My wife is fastidious, and even obsessive compulsive disorder on some
things. But I could put a dead skunk in the trash compactor, compact it,
and leave it there, and I doubt she'd notice it. Well, maybe she's not that
bad, but there have been MANY times when I say, "Do you smell something
bad?", and she says, "Not really." I don't know if "Not really" means yes,
I smell it, but it isn't that bad, or I don't smell anything.

Now, I just automatically turn on the water and hit the switch whenever I'm
close to it.

PS: She also thinks that the compactor MUST BE FULL in order to empty. I
am working on that by putting chicken skins and salmon skins in there.

hehehe
