My buddy sent me this.I thought you might enjoy it.
New diet.
I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my
dog Lola - and was in line to check out. A woman
behind me asked if I had a dog........ Duh! I was
feeling a bit crabby so on impulse, I told her no, 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 unit with tubes coming
out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms. Her
eyes about bugged out of her head.
I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was
totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy,
inexpensive diet and that the way it works is to load
your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply
eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The package
said 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, particularly a tall guy behind her.
Horrified, she asked if something in the dog food had
poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the
hospital? I said no.....I'd been sitting in the street
licking my butt when a car hit me. I thought the tall
guy was going to have to be carried out the door.
