The suitcase

John knows full well that the two ladies will fall for him. He is charming, in his prime, and with his sophisticated art of seduction, he will be able to capture their full attention.

He approaches them unobtrusively, and his gentle “Hello”, delivered at just the right moment, does not fail to have the desired effect. The tall blonde has heard it, and her initially fleeting sideways glance meets his winning smile. As this exchange of glances lasts a moment longer than is casual, the elegant brunette now looks over at him too. John breaks the brief, awkward silence with his slightly hesitant, “May I ask you something?” Already, the two women are all ears, and his art of seduction takes its usual course. With his gentle yet masculine and self-assured manner of speaking, and his attentive listening accompanied by affirming nods, he quickly gains their complete trust and opens his small briefcase for them. They watch spellbound as he turns the key. John lets the tension build for just a moment before opening it, and … their piercing screams and the terrible sobs that follow almost immediately cause their whole body to tremble and shake. The men nearby shiver with cold, whilst the women are seized by panicked, desperate outbursts.

John has already made a clean getaway. It took just 3 minutes and 28 seconds from the ‘hello’ to the open briefcase. A new record for the Guinness Book of Records that’s almost impossible to beat!
