The next time someone asks you a dumb question wouldn't you like to
be able to
think fast enough to respond like this .....
Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Athena
the
Wonder dog, at Wal-Mart (http://www.walmart.com/) and was about to check
out. A woman behind me asked if
I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired,
with
little to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and 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 IVs in both arms..
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way
that 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 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.
