Who let the dogs out?!

Saw a lady walking with a dog on a leash, both were running. I think it was a golden retriever or something similar (a big
dog). Anyway, I remember thinking, “Hmm. I didn’t know that dogs were allowed to walk around in airports. I think they
shouldn’t do it.” Right after the thought crossed my mind, the dog stopped, the lady started saying, “No no no no no no!”
and the dog just took the most massive dump I ever saw a dog take! The dog must’ve been holding it in for a solid week
or something because it was just a steady flow that built up into the most incredible poop pile. I didn’t wait so I’m not
sure how they handled the cleanup. I’m guessing the lady had to use a forklift.

  
Unwrapping the surprise
Years ago, I was in a hotel room in India getting ready to catch a flight back to the UK. I had a lot of clothes to pack, and
much of it was dirty underwear. I thought “I have to pack this separately”, I looked around my hotel room for a plastic
bag, but I finally found some gift wrapping from a present a friend gave me. I put all the used underwear into the gift
wrap before tying it up with the ribbon that had come with the gift wrapping.
    
Job done, I checked out, caught my flight and landed back in the UK. When I was walking out of the airport, a customs
officer - the person in charge to inspect bags at random - flagged me (female as it happened) and asked to inspect my
suitcase. Like a good citizen, I did so. I opened it up and she found my gift-wrapped package, positively screaming for
attention. She asked me to unwrap the package. I tried telling her that was not a good idea, she insisted more that the
package had to be opened and finally opened it. The look she gave me once she saw what was inside, as she tried to
figure out what happened. It was pointless to try and explain, so I didn’t. I just tried to stay composed, repacked my
suitcase and hurried for the exit with as much dignity as I could muster.”
