ME: Blank Top, your phone number please?
LADY: I actually have a question.
ME: Sure, fire away.
LADY: I need to arrange to have my dog picked up and taken to the animal hospital. Could you do that?
ME: Sure, I'll find you somebody who will take a dog, that's no problem.
LADY: Oh, good. I know a lot of your drivers are Muslims and I've read that they won't take dogs.
ME: Yeah, I've read that too, but that particular little tidbit of idiocy has yet to find it's way here, I can find you somebody that will take a dog without any problems.
LADY: That's great. Now how would I pay?
ME: You would just pay the driver at the end of the trip.
LADY: Oh, but you see I wouldn't be going with the dog to the hospital, they are going to take custody of him when he gets there.
ME: The dog would be in a cage or carrier then, right?
LADY: Oh no, his cage would be too big to fit in a car.
ME: . . . Uh, what kind of a dog are we talking about here?
LADY: He's a Rottweiler.
ME: Are you serious? You want someone to pick up your gigantic attack dog without you there to keep the thing under control?
LADY: No, he's very docile right now because he's sick.
ME: Oh goody, so it's going to be throwing up all over the place too? This is just getting better and better.
LADY: No, don't worry, he's not throwing up, it's just. . .
ME: Oh I can't wait to hear this.
LADY: It's just that he's having some diarrhea problems right now.
ME: I think I'm starting to see why you don't want to ride along with it.
LADY: No, don't worry, I can put a diaper on him.
ME: I didn't know that they make diapers for Rottweilers.
LADY: I was just going to rig a baby's diaper on him.
ME: . . .Ma'am, can I ask you a question?
LADY: Okay.
ME: Are you completely insane?
LADY: . . . No, I'm not insane.
ME: Are you sure? You're asking a stranger to pick up your sick attack dog wearing a diaper.
LADY: I'm telling you he's not going to be a problem, he's sick and there's no way he'd attack your driver.
ME: He might not be angry now, but I'm pretty sure that's going to change when you try to slap a diaper on him.
LADY: So there's no way you can do this?
ME: No. In fact, it's probably things like this that have convinced so many Muslim drivers to stop picking up dogs and claim it's for religious reasons.
LADY: Okay, well, thanks anyway.
