Joke: Purina Diet

'Don't Mess with Retired People'

The next time someone asks you a dumb question, wouldn't you like to respond like this?

Yesterday I was at Petsmart buying a large bag of Purina Dog Chow for my loyal pet 'Angel the Wonder Dog' and was in the checkout line when the woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant?

So, since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her "No, I don't have a dog, I am 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 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 the way it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets. Then you 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 poisioned me. I told her no, that 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 pass out, he was laughing so hard.

Petsmart won't let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired people! :D :rolleyes:
