Dog in a suitcase

So there I was on the train into Waterloo today minding my own business, in my own world and having a bit of a think...the week had been slightly topsy turvey but nothing I couldnt handle. I was listening to my new album of the 2010, Florence and the Machine (amazing, go buy!) and these two women step onto the train.

One was like an Asian Jordan, a bit older, but dressed a bit younger, and her friend was pretty similar. It was only 12:30pm and they were already talking about vodka and Primani - the kind of girls you could definitely have fun night out with, attracted attention wherever they went. Anyway the train was pretty full and despite having volume at slightly borderline antisocial levels I could hear their conversation pretty well.

It went something like this...

Jordan Wannabe (JW): So have I told you about the dog?

Jordan Wannabe Friend (JWF) : Errrr no? What dog?

JW: So my friend was looking after so and sos dog while they were away in America on holiday, anyway I got this phone call from her

" The dog has died on me,  i dont know what to do"

JW advised her to call the vet....so she calls the vet

"I think my friends dog has died,  I am supposed to be looking after it, what do I do?"

Vet advises her to take (dead) dog into vet just to make sure

" But I dont have a car" she says. JW wisely advises her to put dog in suitcase and take the tube

 So Dog Girl puts dog into suitcase and takes her onto tube to vet. As most of you Londoners know the tube is not very accessible for wheelchairs let alone suitcases particularly when using the escalators and stairs. Luckily for DG a kind man offers to take suitcase for her.

"What you got in this bag then, a dead body? Its bloody heavy..."

At which dog girl replies cos she cant think of anything else

" Errrrr no, laptops"

At which point kind man promptly does a runner, with suitcase with dead dog.

Amazing.

Imagine being the friend coming back from America and explaining that the dog they left in your care a) died and b) got stolen on th way to the vet ( already dead)

and lastly, imagine being the guy who opened the suitcase expecting lap tops and all he got was a dog (dead) in a suitcase.

Had a smile on my face the rest of the day. Love it.
