Kristin went to a Christmas party last night and came home with this story.  Some of the details might be a little off because I only heard it once and it was from a third person, but it’s too brilliant to not tell.

There’s a woman living in the city of Chicago.  This woman was asked to watch her friends dog, a golden retriever, while her friends were out of town.  The dog dies.

So, this woman first has to call the family to let them know their dog has died, then calls the vet to ask what to do with a dead golden retriever in the middle of the city of Chicago.  The vet then tells her to “bring the dog in” and they will either dispose of it or keep it until the owners of the dog arrive to decide what to do.

Now, this woman, realizing that golden retrievers are heavy, especially when dead, packs it into a rolling suitcase and hops on the subway train headed for the vet.

While on the subway, a man approaches this woman and asks what’s in the case.  Not wanting to say that she’s got a dead dog packed in there, she tells him that she is moving and these are her belongings.  You know where this is going don’t you?

So, this man follows her off the train, then decides to pull a knife on her and take all of her belongings packed in this case.  She doesn’t put up a fight, but then has to call the family to let them know that their dog was not only dead, but has now been stolen at knife-point.

Now, the only thing that would make this story better is if somehow we are able to follow this guy back to his apartment where he throws the case on his bed and opens it up to reveal a dead golden retriever and his thought process from then on.

How amazing is that?!

Weirdest thing you have every packed in a suitcase or ‘traveled’ with?

Ready?  Go.
