My dad was a volunteer firefighter for many years, and every year had to drag the local canal for sinkers and floaters. The one I actually saw though was a much more personal encounter: I was out for my morning training row, before I had to coach the local crew, and my oar smacked a log. Goddamn kids throwing goddamn logs from the bridge onto the rowing course! Finished my workout and rowed back to the boathouse, but saw police and an ambulance on the side of the canal, nice big bloated body half in the water as they were pulling him out.

The cops met me at the boathouse to question me about the big gash they discovered in the floater's head. So I guess it wasn't a log I hit after all. Just about threw up on the spot.

This doesn't probably count because it was on TV, but it was the first time something on the box had me retching and running to the toilet.

Basically it was a series on a main channel filming what goes on down the main drinking streets in Newquay (UK) on a Saturday night, cue lairy girls and drunken idiots.

Anyway, there was this group of early-twenty-somethings who called themselves 'the tanks' and all had matching t-shirts on. They were getting properly plastered (I'm talking about 40 units each that night). One of the guys (who was surprisingly good-looking, not a beer-bellied troll) claimed he could drink anything and was happily mixing up ashtray contents and the like into his drink and downing it for the pleasure of the camera. These guys are in a kebab shop and the "will-down-anything" guy tells his mate to piss in a pint glass and he bets he will drink it. His mate obliges and the guy then downs his mate's half pint of discoloured emission before immediately vomiting into a bucket the kebab shop owners had thoughtfully provided. Then the other guy picks up the bucket and downs the mixture of vomit and piss.

Jesus. Christ.

Jimskins, that really doesn't surprise me. There isn't much to do in Newquay anyway. If I still lived there I'd probably be joining their group, and get them to go to Truro.

My buds and I pulled over to take a leak on the west side of Tahoe. Suddenly my boy D says, "oh man, I just blew it, bad." He had mud running down the back of his leg. So he wiped it up with his shorts, hucked them into the forest, put on some clean ones and headed back to the rig. P says, "dude, what the hell are you doing? Get your ass in the lake and wash." So D had to wash his rear in super cold Lake Tahoe before he could get back in the car.

Yes probably the most digusting thing I've seen ... but at the same time, turned into one of the most fun days I will remember from my 'teenage' years.
My best friend at school lived on a cow farm. One weekend she invited me to stay and her dad took us out to 'de-horn' the cows. This involved the cows being herded into a 'run' .. and their head being locked into a vice. Big cutters were used to cut off each horn ... and as each horn was cut off, the cows would shake their heads - I guess from the initial pain ... and as they shook their heads, blood would spray from their freshly cut horn (which was then covered by an antiseptic seal). By the end of the day, we were all covered in blood spray, from head to toe.

I worked on the beef kill floor at a meatpacking plant for almost two years. At the time it was really good money. I always admired the Mazda RX-7 in the parking lot, purple. And got a 67 Mustang not long after.

There was nothing that was so gross. Some of the absesses were a bit of green/yellow and foul smelling. There were some hairworms that writhed in some of the meat. But it was all freshly killed and opened up carcasses. I removed the spinal cord from beef sides next to the guy splitting them.

He (yes, it was like Santa's workshop) was on platform next to me gutting the headless cows hoisted on their hindquarters rolling on the rail, slowly. He'd stick his knife in so that it cut from the inside. So contact with outer hair/hide wouldn't dull the blade.

Zip down the length of the abdomen and OUT lolled the three cow stomachs, WHALLOP, a great load of balloon. Sometimes he'd clumsily nick them and out would come the contents, green and ewwww.

Once the stomach was out he'd, using an electric saw, cut the carcass down the spine splitting it in two. Each side hanging to the line individually, now, from A hoof and not the whole carcass hanging from two hoofs as before.

The higher bracket jobs involved skill with a knife. Since it was a moving processing line, a rail with carcasses moving, never stopping, contact with bone/hide dulled the knife and made the job more difficult, unless you had skill to avoid bone/hide. And one of the higher bracket jobs was working on the cow heads.

I snuck home a cow's eyeball one day. My brother (4 years younger) and I were sitting in front of the TV watching Gilligan's Island. I took the eyeball out of a sock (it was about plum sized) and held it sideways in my fist like it was LOOKING at him. He totally freaked and didn't think it was funny. The End.

University initiation. I lived in residence with a bunch of football players. I saw various people drink piss, eat food that had been in people's cracks while they foot-raced (you drop it you eat it, you lose the race you eat everyone's) and probably the coup de gras was the consumption of the cracker that had the snot and phlegm of about 12 different people on it.

The most traumatizing/disgusting thing I remember was a plain old flounder that someone had thrown in the ditch (don't ask, you have to be from where I'm from) that was absolutely teeming with maggots. I was young and had gotten quite close before I figured out what it was.

I've mostly blocked out the horror stories from my dad/grandad's sawmill.

Army Cadet camp in CFC Borden. One Cadet refused to shower. When people were formed up in ranks most cadets almost fainted from the stench. Finally in a tent city sleep over he decided to use the latrine(outdoor toilet).
A whole platoon rushed the latrine and attempted to push it over. Finally they tipped it and all the shite came out the dirty pig was drenched in dung.

He was sent home the next day.

At a party a guy was slumped on the floor with a pint in his hand. Twice he puked into the class and was still trying to drink the beer/puke mixture. Eventually someone noticed and knocked the glass out of his hand.

I worked for a friend of mine as a part time tour guide and thus had to do a serious amount of driving around. I saw some gruesome accidents but there is one that I will always remember.

I was driving a family home from the airport and had to take a quiet stretch of highway that connected their suburb with the city center. It was dusk when I noticed a couple of police cars parked next to the highway. Their lights were on and I could vaguely see the officers walking around the area looking for something. I slowed down to pass them safely.

Well about 20 yards away I spotted something in the road and slowed down more to drive around it. I could not make out what it was but as soon as it was right next to my window I looked down at a human leg!!! It was ripped from the torso at the hip joint and still had a shoe on it. My stomach churned like never before. I then looked up and next to the road I saw body parts lying everywhere. Some of the parts where recognizable but some where just pieces of raw meat.

The cops where busy covering up each piece with plastic sheets and putting little markers next to the sheet. The parents covered the kids eyes while we drove through the carnage. I have no idea what happened to the person. One idea is that an big 18 wheeler going full out might have hit him.
