Ever have one of those days when it annoys you just to have somebody look at you in a check out line?
Well,… Yesterday was one of those days. I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my dogs at Wal-Mart and was about to check out.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I didn’t have a dog, but that I was starting the Purina Diet again although I probably shouldn’t because I’d ended up in the hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV’s in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
(I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story).
Horrified, she asked if I had ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her “No, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter’s butt and a car hit us both”.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!
WAL-MART won’t let me shop there anymore!!!
