The funniest thing I have EVER SEEN.

So last night, Stan came over and was horsing around with the beagle in the other room. I could hear scuffling and clapping and whatnot--the usual.

A minute later, it got really quiet. All of a sudden I hear, "Oh God, he's stuck inside my coat."

"What??" I said, and ran into the room.

Sure enough, in the midst of their collective running amok, Stan had taken off his coat and thrown it on top of the beagle. The beagle panicked, and bolted---straight up the coat sleeve!

He wedged himself in there SO TIGHT that the sleeve looked like a sausage casing, with only the tip of his snout and some whiskers sticking out the end-hole.

Oh my God, I literally fell on the floor, I was laughing so hard. Although there was no time to waste (ie, no time to run and get my camera), the poor little guy was frightened stiff and completely immobile inside the sleeve. (Any attempt we made to pull him back out the other end made him scramble farther in, until he literally could not move.)

What wound up happening was that Stan grabbed onto his tail, and I held onto the end of the sleeve, and on the count of three, we both pulled and the beagle popped out. I was laughing SO HARD at this point that he totally glared at me before running upstairs in humiliation.

I must have guffawed for a solid 10 minutes. O what I would have given for a picture! So, I drew myself a diagram instead. Which I can't post because I've never figured out how to. So sorry!!

At this time, I would like to answer any questions you might have about the incident.

Yes, my beagle is small enough to fit up a coat sleeve. He is runty, what can I say.

Yes, he is extremely long and coat-sleeve-shaped, so it was a perfect fit.

No, we don't intend to do it again so that I can get a picture (much as I'd like to). It frightened the poor thing out of his wits, so even I'm not cruel enough to put him through that again.

Any further questions? You know what to do.....
