all dolled up, dog put out, etc. The taxi arrives, and as the couple start
out, the dog shoots back in the house. They don't want the dog shut in the
house, so the wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes upstairs to
chase the dog out.
The wife, not wanting it known that the house will be empty in their
absence, explains to the taxi driver:"He's just going upstairs to say
good-bye to my mother."
A few minutes later, the husband gets into the cab. "Sorry I took so long"
he says. "Stupid bitch was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a
coat hanger to get her to come out! Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to
keep her from scratching and biting me as I hauled her ass downstairs and
tossed her in the back yard! She better not s**t in the vegetable garden
again!"
The silence in the cab was deafening.
