Real-Life Improv Story #5: Lauri

By Gary Hirsch • September 25th, 2008

A real life improv story from my friend and recent real estate agent, Lauri:

“I did my first open house 2 weekends ago for a colleague in our office.
the place was uber small, OLD and smelled mildewy, so i opened as many
windows as i could to air it out. when i got to the back, there was an
enclosed porch that REAKED when i opened the door. there, on the floor,
was a squirrel that had clearly been mauled by another animal - both had
apparently come in through the cat door - and the owner hadn’t been
around to notice it. with about 5 minutes to spare, i raced around the
porch opening every window to air it out, and moved two chairs on either
side of the squirrel remains. miraculously, i found an empty trash can
in the backyard. I was able to turn it over and make it into a table
between the 2 chairs. the trash can not only contained the smell, but
completed the makeshift ‘garden set.”
