As I was pounding in the last nail, my dog quietly walked by, avoiding eye contact, carrying a rubber toy, two bowling pins, a puppy, a sack full of lemons, a watermelon, a tube of sunblock, an umbrella, a paint roller, and one high-heeled shoe.

This was certainly a great surprise for me. Who was it then in the coffin I had just nailed shut? Was my dog still alive? I could swear he was crushed this morning by a piano falling from the eleventh floor down to the street, during our walk; the tether was all that was sticking out from underneath the pile of wood and strings. I started to quickly undo the lid from the coffin.

I find it harder to believe a dog carried a watermelon.
