Driven Mad: Chauffeuring an 88-year-old and her flatulent dog to the east coast
June 15th, 2009 by Tom Fairchild in News, Sarasota-Manatee
What: Town car trip from the Suncoast to the east coast.
When: Late last week.
Who: 88-year-old woman.
Why: She was returning to her real home from a vacation condo.
With: Her uncontrollable hound.
Highlight: Her inability to stop talking about how wealthy she is.
Lowlight: Increasingly flatulent dog. Seriously. After four hours, it was still outgassing.
What kept me sane: Wondering if all the farts originated with the pooch, or whether she was playing fart tennis with the dog.
Conclusion(s): Old women should not be foisted upon innocent limousine drivers. Cross-country jaunts are only fun with friends. Flatulent dogs should be FedExed.
