Paul: Did you get any of it down inside your shirt, or worse still it can follow the middle of your back and right down in your trousers.

Your story reminds me of an old guy hauling cattle in a box on a 1 ton truck. He had them all tied at the head board, 3 small cows and a bull. It was raining and he could feel comotion in back on truck. He stopped to investigate in the dark. Open the door a and with flash light in hand went in. Sure enough, the bull was trying to do what bulls do. He had enough slack rope he was able to mount a cow coming down on the other side of her. Here he was held by the nose ring across her back. He though if he untied the cow, let her back out, then shorten the bulls rope, tie her back up on the other side of bull. So in he goes under a cow, untied one cow, shortened the bulls rope. As he turned to get the untied cow, a tail switched knocking the flashlight out of his hand, plus the light went out. In pitch dark with one cow untied, he got down on hands and knees to find flashlight. As he did one of the cows let loose with a stream of very soft manure, going right down the back of his neck inside his shirt collar. He stood up, said there must have been a bucket full of this soft manure in his shirt and it went right around above his belt at the waist.

Bear in mind this chap was noted for quite tall tales, I expect she just got him when he was on his hands and knees and it seemed just as bad. I would think, back of truck in dark would be bad enough even if you were on your feet. Having had a barn full of holsteins, I know what it's like to get Sh!# on, the mud from tractor tires is a mere trifle, unless the tractor has been in the manure pit.
