A couple was going out for the evening.
They'd gotten ready, all dolled up, but just needed to put the dog out when the taxi arrived. However as the couple walked out of the house, the dog shot back into the house.
They didn't want the dog shut in the house, so the wife went out to the taxi while the husband went upstairs to chase the dog out.
The wife, not wanting it known that the house would be empty explained to the taxi driver: "He's just going upstairs to say good-bye to my mother."
A few minutes later, the husband got back into the cab. "Sorry I took so long" he explained. "The 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'd better not shit in the vegetable garden again!"
The silence in the cab was deafening.
