A trip to Petco

A story from a friend:

Yesterday I was at my local Petco buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, 'Biscuit, the Wonder Dog' and was in the checkout line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
What the **** did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no. I didn't have a dog. I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I 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. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was 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 *** and a car hit us both.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Petco won't let me shop there anymore.

Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.

Thats funny everytime I hear that one. A fella I worked with and I was in a conveinence store and it was busy with a line of people waiting to pay. In order to try and get all the gas customers sorted out the cashier would ask each patron if they had gas. When my co-worker got his turn to pay for his pizza, the lady again repeated her question "do you have gas" to which he grabbed his nose and replied no, it must have been the guy behind me. I happened to be the guy behind him. The cashier appeared to be having a bad day but his remark made her hesitate when she absorbed what he said and seemed to have lightened her misery a little as well as everyone elses in that line that heard.
