Dead ants.

Don't know how they died, huh? Sounds like somebody may need to buy some air freshener.

I had that same thing happen to me. One morning my bathroom is crawling with ten or so ants. But when I walked into my apartment that same evening, I was struck by the unmistakable smell of death! I dashed into the bathroom, my heart pounding at a furious rate, and found the ants ... still alive. I sighed with relief. The ants seemed surprised to see me -- and in truth I usually get home much later. As it turns out the smell of death was coming from my neighbor's apartment. And all this time we thought he went to Europe. Certainly it explained the screaming we used to hear. But my point is this, what if it had been the ants?

Yet, here I am once again making this all be me. Let's get back to your problem: What if the ants simply came to see you because they enjoyed your company? Had you thought of that?

Perhaps, they were struck by your natural beauty. Or, maybe they used the excuse of the getting out the rain to simply watch you shower. It's true! I've seen it happen. Anyway, I don't want to sound like a broken record, but no matter what you may personally think of ants, the fact is that ants like us! Its true! If they didn't --- they certainly would have killed us by now. The ants have the means and the power to do so at a moments notice. Yet, they don't. What stops them? I'll tell you --- LOVE. Ants = Love. Hate them if you so choose. I can't stop you ... I can only educate.

Damned funny post Tref!!! Definitely deserves mojo!

When GusGus and I lived in Rancho Cucamonga, our complex was built on the grounds of old grape vineyards. Ants were just a way of life.

WARNING!!! Gross out story ahead. When I was in college, we were renting a house. There were several half wine barrels out front that had been planters previously (but by the time we got there they were just filled with dirt). The owner decided to do some clean-up one day and we were helping him. I decided to remove the wine barrels. I started by knocking the sides off (fairly easy since time and nature had already done most of the work). The I drove a shovel right into the middle of the remaining dirt pile.

When I did that, it appeared that I had hit an oil line. The ants were so thick, that it looked like a a black liquid flowing out. As I broke that dirt pile down more, I came to discover that the entire mound of dirt was a giant ant farm. I have never seen so many ants in one place in my life.

Gave me the heebie-jeebies for a few nights.
