    God bless you Billy. My dream was to go on holiday for a week or two, find a cottage in Scotland, with my little Jack Russell. Go in winter, a walking holiday. Go walking, find a pub in the middle on nowhere. It would be snowing or at the very least raining. We would go in, a roaring fire, there we would find Billy, entertaining people, by just talking, telling stories. If heaven exists, it would be just like that. God bless you Billy.

You know what he's going to say before he gets there, but he teases you with visuals and pantomime and when it finally comes it's just pure magic.

One time, my brothers were travelling to deliver some products by Transport truck for our company. Our family ALWAYS had a thing for Tim Horton's and if you live in Canada or are familiar with the Company, you'd know why (For anyone who doesn't know, it's like Dunkin' Donuts of Canada). My oldest brother thought it would be hilarious to take an empty doughnut box and take a shit in it and surprise our other brother with it lol. So he got back to the truck with the "doughnut box" and said, "I left one for ya" lol did Zack ever get a surprise. Of course, not everyone would find that funny, but I was 10 years old and when they came back and told me that, I almost died in laughter lol
