Poor old Fluffy...
Sometimes you get funny stuff from your friends.
I've got a buddy, owns a German shepherd. The people next door to him own
one of those goofy white rabbits they keep in a cage. He came home one
Saturday, and his dog is running around the yard WITH THIS RABBIT in his
mouth. The rabbit has mud on it, it's got dog spit on it, IT IS DEAD. Instead
of being a man and telling the people what happened, he panicked. He took
the rabbit away from the dog, took it in the house, washed it off with
soap and water, and dried it with a hair dryer. (No pun intended, there.)
He waited until it got dark, snuck the rabbit back over next door, put
it in the cage like it had a heart attack, and locked the door. A few days
later he was out in his yard, and he saw the lady from next door. She came
over to the fence and said, "I guess you heard what happened."
He said, "Naw, what?"
She said, "We have had a death in our family."
He said, "Who died?"
She said, "Fluffy. And the weird thing was,
after we buried him, somebody digged him back up and put him back in his
cage."
BACK...
