And the Moon, is the only light we'll see

So, my boss has been at a conference and comes back with funny stories - as you do.

The one concerning our company's stand and the inadvertent use of vodka to make coffee was highly entertaining but it was another story he told which had me really sniggering.

A friend of a friend was House-Sitting. Accompanying the house sitting came a bit of Dog Sitting.

On the second day, they got up, came down the stairs, and discovered to their horror, the beloved animal was no longer with us. It was an ex-dog. It was not of this world.

They called the nominated vet, and the vet asked that they bring the animal in, so that he could examine and find out what had caused it's sudden demise. How should they get there they asked? Taxi was the response from the Vet. The house sitter was a bit perturbed by this, but the vet assured them that Taxi drivers were used to transporting all sorts of cargo, and they shouldn't be worried.

But worried they were, and they contemplated for a short while the best way to approach this. They worked out where the Vet was and realised that it was merely a short underground trip.

So they looked out a suitcase... (yes, this is where it gets bad), and loaded the ex-dog into the suitcase. And rolled and lugged it to the underground.

As they were bouncing it down the stair a kindly gent approached and offered a hand to get the luggage down the stair. As they boarded the underground together, he commented, "what have you got in there? it weighs a tonne".

A tad frightened to say "A dead dog", they uttered "A Sound System"; content that sound systems might weigh the same as a dead dog.

"Okay" said the kind man.

And when the doors opened at the next station, he grabbed the suitcase off them, made for the door and headed out the station without a backward glance.




The consequences for everyone are all too awful to contemplate eh?
