my brother-in-law's story

Listening to Shannon tell a funny story makes everything ten times funnier because he laughs hysterically the whole time.

Tonight he called to tell us a story from one of his sister's friends.

Apparently, this friend went to Toronto to take care of her aunt's dog.

The dog, of course, DIES.

The poor girl doesn't know what to do, so she decides to take the dog's body to the vet. Not having a car or anything, she puts the dog in a duffel bag and gets on the subway.

She's on the subway and everything is fine, but then she hits the turnstiles, about three in a row, and she's having trouble negotiating them with her heavy load.

A good Samaritan offers to help her. They get through the first turnstile or so, and the guy's like, "this bag is really heavy - what's in it, anyway?"

The girl, obviously, is a little nervous about this line of conversation, so she lies. "Electronics," she says, to help set up a computer at her sister's house.

And the good Samaritan, hearing this, takes off with the duffel bag.

Can you imagine the look on his face when he hits the pawn shop with his stolen goods and opens the bag, only to find a dead dog inside?

Oh man.

You shoulda heard Shannon tell it.
