These Tweets About A Man, A Dog And Some Strange Noises Coming From A Car Are Hilarious

The beauty of Twitter is how it can immortalise funny stories and enable them to be shared all around the world instantly, so we can all experience the second-hand embarrassment of an individual as if it was us. It's a magical thing, and this thread from earlier today is a prime example of the power of Twitter. Writer Joe Craig was walking his dog around Finchley in London when he heard an odd noise coming from a car, and fearing a kidnapping was taking place, he took action.

I was walking my dog round East Finchley, late, two nights ago. Chasing foxes, that kind of thing. And I heard a noise.

I heard muffled screaming & saw the boot of a car rattling. Oh no, I thought - someone's trapped in the boot!

In a swift, dynamic movement I flung open the boot of the car. The boot light came on. I was staring into the face of a woman!

The woman was naked.

On top of the woman was a man. Also naked.

The woman was clinging on to the boot, rattling it while she screamed. For very different reasons than the ones I had assumed from outside.

What does one say in that situation?

I'll tell you what I said. I said: "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I thought you were trapped. Like a hostage. Because of the screaming and...

Then I started to close the boot - carefully. I didn't want to trap anything. Unfortunately, my dog is very well trained...

So before I could close the boot, Harpo (my dog) did what he's been trained to do when someone opens the boot of a hatchback.

My dog jumped into the boot. Sort of next-to (but mainly on-top-of) the faces of the two copulating strangers.

— Joe Craig (@joecraiguk) January 28, 2016

Obviously I can't undo Harpo's training, so I said, "Good boy." Which I think gave the wrong impression.
