A Smell to Wake Up To... NOT!

This morning as I was getting out of bed, I could still smell in the air what we had prepared for dinner last night: french fries deep fried in peanut oil. I don't really like to deep fry, but it's what we did last night per Cameron's suggestion. The fries were REALLY good!

So, I rise out of bed smelling the grease lingering in the air, decide some strong brewed coffee would smell AWESOMLY (is that a word?) better, but as I walk towards the half bath off the kitchen to feed the dog, my nostrils are accosted by another smell - an awful, stinky, smell of raw sewage!

I peak into the bathroom where we have a white tiled floor and see no discoloration on the floor - whew! Nothing overflowed or backed up...but as I walk into the bathroom to pour the dog food into the bowl, I see the problem: someone didn't flush! EEOOOWWW! There was an anonymous icky, gross, unflushed deposit!

This was nasty! Being that one son and I were gone last night, it had to have been another specimen of male in the house. But as the other two boys came downstairs for breakfast this morning, and as their mother quizzed them in various ways, trying to get to the bottom (no pun intended) of this smelly surprise, nobody fessed up!

It must have been the same person-of-interest who steals unmatched socks out of the dryer. Anybody else have one of these mysteries?
