KEENESBURG, Co. (KUSA) - "I don’t know what made me do it. The devil I guess," she said.
Flora’s sister, Rose, found the hot dog when she opened the suitcase back up in Idaho, where she lived at the time.
"She mailed it back to me telling me to keep my garbage at home," said Flora.
The game was on.
In the years that followed, Flora would find a way to sneak the hot dog back into Rose’s life. And Rose would find another way to sneak it back to Flora.
"I found it under my pillow once, I found it in between the drapes and once I found it in the kitchen drawer," said Flora.
Flora still has that hot dog. It looks just about as disgusting as you might expect. Yet, earlier this year, Flora’s sister, best friend, and victim of her continuous pranks, lost her battle with cancer.
Flora says she misses her friend, and even though it’s difficult to look at, she’ll still show you the hot dog and tell you the story behind it.
Slip it into the coffin at the services, then she'll get the last laugh.
Sounds like the game my dad and uncle have been playing for the last 20 years. They've been stealing a little stone alligator from each other everytime they get the chance.
Yep! I'd say that's just about right for a 50 year old 'hotdog'!
:0)
If I were Flora I would have thrown it into Rose's casket when I had the chance.
my thoughts exactly
What if she did that and it showed back up. That would be spooky.
She could sell it at Apu's to Homer. (drooling noises)
had i been one to see it in the casket, i'm the type of person who'd have grabbed it and sent it back.. return address "Heaven" :)
Don't the funeral directors clear everything out of a coffin anyways? Can you imagine a week after the service the director goes: "Here are a few items left for your sister."
It begins 12 days before Christmas. Whoever had the fruitcake takes it to a neighbor and leaves it at the door. Whoever has the fruitcake at 12 midnight on Christmas Eve has to keep it until the next year.
Coming home from midnight mass this year I found it on my steps.
That looks like Mr. Hanky from 'South Park'
Spunds similar to a family game of mine, excapt with beers. Someone bought "Beer" brand beer from a military PX and has been passing it around at parties. I have wisely avoided it thus far but fear I will one day be drunk enough to drink one. I've heard the generics are the worst.
