Something I Learned On the Busride Home Today: Do not open stray suitcases lying in the middle of a West Texas highway. Definitely do not bring said suitcase into your car. Someone may have left a bobcat inside.
Hee! I was hoping someone would ask me about that. I was talking to my friend Andrew, and he told me about his uncle growing up in West Texas and being cruel to animals. Skipping over his practice of tying cats' tails together and hanging them over a clothesline, he mentioned that his uncle managed to catch a bobcat once. As a practical joker, he was required to think of a good use for this living prop, so he placed it in a suitcase in the center of a lonely West Texas highway.
Pretty soon, he sees a car come along. He's hiding behind a billboard. A pair of feet walk over to the suitcase, pick it up, and put it in the car. The car drives off, but a few hundred feet down the road, it starts swerving back and forth across the road. The guy finally screeches to a halt and sprints away from the car, yelling at the top of his lungs. Meanwhile, the poor bobcat comes strolling out of the car, stumbling around like it's been in a blender, and eventually runs off. His uncle was, of course, highly amused ;)
