Years back, the woman that I was living with inherited a dumbassed cocker spaniel. The woman had to take off overnight, and left me stuck watching her daughter and the dog.
She had let the dog out before she left - and I called for the dog later in the day - and the dog didn't come.
I found it out alongside the road, dead as shit - hit by a car.
It was the middle of the winter - and the ground was frozen - so the daughter and I made a stack of firewood out where we burn brush - put the dog on it - soaked it with a 1/2 gallon of kero and lit it up. Fucking dog got a Viking funeral.
When the woman got back she came unglued when I told her we didn't bury it, but burned it. ( she wasn't all that bent about it dying)
I let her vent for a minute or so --- " You hated that dog, blah blah blah"
When she was done - I asked her " What was that you put in your will, to be done when you die?" She got a real funny look on her face, looked down at her shoes and quietly said "Get cremated".
I exhibited superhuman strength, and did not burst out laughing.....
People are weird.
