Quip of the Night
I was sitting in the living room with my mom and her friend when I came across a version of this story in the local publication that passes for a newspaper. The following exchange then occurred:
Me: Do you remember hearing about that woman in St. Charles County that beat the other woman with the dead chihuahua? She was found guilty today.
Mom: Found guilty of what?
Mom's Friend: Assault with a dead weapon.
Much laughter ensued. Yes, that probably means that we're all just a little bit sick, but she didn't miss a beat. It was a perfectly executed one-liner, and really, isn't that what friends are for?

I can't believe someone actually sold her another chihuahua. There goes another puppy into foster care...
Oh, and nice timing by your mom's friend :)
