Dugg! A *lot* of this is true. Having grown up on a farm (well, a ranch) and absolutely hated it, it was fun to read someone who went through the same experiences as I did. Its been a long time since I've reflected on things like the overwhelming smell of ammonia from pissed-in straw. We had cattle instead of sheep (or goats), and while generally being just dumb meat bags, they would also occasionally find some reason to want to kill something. You don't want to be in the way when that happens.
And while "all your neighbors" aren't crazy, there's always that ONE guy (or family)...
Actually all of that is pretty much true. Also true: You can identify what animals a farmer raises by how his place smells. Chickens, cows, and pigs all produce different smelling crap. I haven't lived in my hometown for 20 years and I can still do this.

Too bad none of this is true, then again it's from the morons at cracked so you should already know it's all false.
