Skunk Tail

When Erwin was young, his family lived in a house that had a type of lean-to in the back that had the washing machine in it.  One day they discovered a skunk had climbed under the washing machine.  His father got a hose and sprayed the skunk with water, so it could not raise it's tail.   His dad killed the skunk and buried it in the yard.      That year the carrots from their garden tasted like skunk.
