Buying a Puppy
by Matt Johnson
So, I have a girlfriend (like most men and lesbians do) and occasionally I like to do nice things for her.  Well, this one time we were walking through the mall and, after an hour of other stores, we walked past a pet store.  Her being a woman and loving all things �cute,� she dragged me in to look at �all the cute animals.�

Well, we left the store and went home, and all she could talk about was how cute this one dog was, a little golden lab.  Anyway, around this time I got the bright idea that she might like to have this cute little dog.  So, when she�s at work, I head down to that pet store to buy her this little golden shit-machine.

But, when I get there, no lab.  Someone bought it a few hours ago.  So, I browse all the other puppies they have.  However, there isn�t anything near as �cute� as that damn lab.  So eventually, the storeowner asks if he can help me.  I let him know my dilemma and he has a great idea.  Since I couldn�t find any puppy I liked, he�d take me to the back room to see the only dog he doesn�t have on display.

The back room is really hot and really dark.  He leads me through a long corridor, opening numerous locked doors, until we finally reach �the back room!� Dum dum DUUUUUUUUUM!!!  This room in the source of all the heat.  �This is the dog I was telling you about,� the storeowner tells me.  I look over to where he�s pointing and see the dog.  The dog was a dark-coat golden lab.  Only, it wasn�t a puppy.  Actually, it was far from a puppy.  It was over eight feet tall, was breathing fire, and had three heads.  It was the guardian of Hades: CERBERUS!

The storeowner then tells Cerberus that he�s brought today�s meal.  This guy doesn�t want to sell me this dog; he wants to feed me to this dog.  Well, I�m not about to get eaten, especially when I�m trying to do something nice.  Cerberus lunges at me, but because my ninja training gave me cat-like reflexes, I was able to dodge him.

I pulled out my Uzi, which I always bring to pet stores, and started giving that dog a lead salad.  But, even with two hundred bullets in its side, Cerberus kept coming after me.  I decided that a direct attack was better, so I withdrew my katana and lunged at the giant dog.  I slashed and hacked but the dog didn�t even slow down.

Finally, out of options, I screamed, �WAIT!  Don�t eat me!�  Cerberus stopped and said, �Ok.�  I was shocked.  �But, I�m still hungry,� Cerberus told me.  �Well,� I said, �eat him.�  And I pointed at the owner.  So, Cerberus�s three heads ripped the storeowner apart and ate him.  I said goodbye to the dog and he told me to have a good day.  My girlfriend didn�t get a puppy, but I don�t really care, because I made a new friend� and he guards Hell.
