I heard this from my brother-in-law while we were vacationing last week. I think the story is probably true -- he's not one to BS...
He was driving on a rural two-lane road and got behind a livestock truck (can't remember if he said they were cows or horses) that was trying to find a safe spot to get around a bicyclist. Just after the truck passed the cyclist, one of the animals let out a urine stream, dowsing the cyclist, who pulled off the road. My BIL said it was pretty disgusting -- there was evidently enough stuff splashing that he had to turn on his windshield wipers.
....and I thought I smelled bad after one of MY rides... :-b

Boy, that must have really [censored] him off. 😉
You're all wet, Austin.
(Was gonna say "Urine trouble now" but...word already taken.)
Hey Bill ,, this would have made you one happy [censored]. A little splash of love.

If my BIL had said, "my buddy told me about a guy who saw..." then I would agree, but he saw this with his own eyes. Also, it's not far-fetched. (Unlike, say, strapping JATO rockets to an automobile and setting them off...)
The real question is whether he was BS-ing. Personally I doubt he was, but I won't swear he couldn't.
well... on a training spin a few years back, on a rural road in Ireland about 10 miles outside the edge of suburbia... there had been a trickle of fresh looking and smelling pig slurry running along the side of the road, about 18 inches in from the verge... I rounded a corner and came across a big puddle of the slurry.... my road tyres lost grip and the front of the bike slid out. I ended up more or less lying in a pool of pig slurry.
