My son asked me if I had ever done something bad to a dog.
"No, but my next-door neighbor did when I was a kid. I saw the whole thing."
"What happened?"
"One neighbor had this dog that would always bark and snarl at all the kids in the neighborhood. So this other neighbor decided he was gonna fix the dog's wagon for keeps.
He snuck in very quietly when the dog was asleep and filled his watewr dish with gasoline.
The dog woke up and took a drink ... in fact he lapped the bowl dry. His eyeballs then sort of clacked together, and he RAN in circles around the yard, and ran and ran. After almost an hour, he suddenly stopped and fell over sideways."
"Wow, Dad! You saw all that? Why did the dog fall over?"
" ... He ran out of gas."
