Billygoat Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Yesterday I was at my local COSTCObuying a large bag of Purina dog chowfor my loyal pet, Molson, the Wonder Dog and was in thecheckout line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.What did she think I had, an elephant? So sinceI'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, Ididn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again... I added that Iprobably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but thatI'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward withtubes 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 thatit works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simplyeat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionallycomplete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have tomention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled withmy story.)Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care becausethe dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniffan Irish Setter's butt and a car hit us both.I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heartattack he was laughing so hard.Costco won't let me shop there anymore..Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in theworld to think of crazy things to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Man Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 hahhaahah! I was in Dunkin Donuts to buy four dozen doughnouts and the person behind the counter asked me "Is that for here or to go?" and I couldn't think of a comeback. But retired minds do think alike!Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billygoat Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 I called the manager today, and he said I'm good to go, and that I might try another brand next time.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
