A funny story for your Valentine's Day....
Greg's cousin (a 14-year-old girl) was dog-sitting for her neighbors while they were on vacation. One day she came in to feed the dog, and it was dead (the dog was old and sick to begin with. This was not a surprise. Please move past the sadness to reach the humor).
She wasn't sure what to do, and couldn't reach the dog's owners, so she decided to take it to the vet. Since she's too young to drive, she only had one way to get to the vet: public transportation. And since it was a large, heavy dog, she decided to put it in a suitcase for easier and more discreet transporting.
She rode the train without difficulty, but had trouble with a large flight of stairs in the train terminal. While she was struggling to get the suitcase up the stairs, a man came up and offered to help. After she gratefully accepted, he asked what was in the suitcase to make it so heavy.
Not wanting to tell him the truth, she hedged around the question: "Oh, you know, some stuff from school. Supplies, my laptop...."
"Laptop, huh?" And he punched her in the stomach and took off with the suitcase.
Got what he deserved, that one.
