Default This made me laugh .....

Heard a really funny story from a friend today - she had been asked to flat and dog sit for friend who had a flat in London while they went on holiday.

After 4 days the dog passed away ( it was old and died of natural causes) she phoned her friend who asked her if she could get the dog cremated. After a couple of phone calls she found a place.

She put the dog in a suitcase and went to get a tube to the pet crematorium. When she boarded the tube a chap helped her with the case and then sat next to her - he asked her what was in the case and rather than say " a dead dog" she said she had spilt up with her boyfriend and it was her worldly possessions.

When she got off the tube the chap was in front of her and as she went through the barrier he again offered to help her with her suitcase. As she put her card through the chap took the suitcase and legged it ...... I really would have given anything to have seen his face when he opened the case !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
