For Starters...

I have a friend who lives in New York City. In New York, everybody takes the subway, or a taxi, because having a car there can be pretty inconvenient. So, my friend has a friend who was dog-sitting recently for some other friends. And while this girl was dog-sitting, unfortunately the dog died. After calling the owners and sharing the sad news, they responded lovingly and assured this girl that it was not a huge deal, they actually expected it to happen sometime soon. The couple had previously arranged for the dog's cremation at a their vet, so they told the girl where to take it. Well, she didn't want to just throw the dead dog in a taxi and drive across town, so she decided that a duffle bag would be the best idea and that she would take it on the subway.

While trying to get through the turnstile into the subway, she couldn't quite lift the duffle bag over in order to pass through. A gentleman nearby asked her if she needed help and she accepted. He asked "Gosh! this is heavy, what do you have in here?"

"Computer equipment" she hesitantly stated, with a half hearted smile.

The guy helps her get the bag onto the train and they travel two stops. At this second stop the man apologizes that he can't help her any further because it's his stop and he's got to get off. The girl turned to thank him for his help, when he punched her in the face, stole the duffle bag and ran off the train through the subway....
