Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Athena the
> wonder dog at Wal-Mart 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!!!
