The Purina Diet
« on: January 07, 2007, 08:35:19 PM »
I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my dogs and was in line to check out, when a well-dressed woman behind me wanted to know if I had a dog.  Well 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, for some strange reason I'd been sitting in the middle of the street licking my butt when a car hit me. The woman wasn't the least bit amused and I thought the tall guy behind her was going to pass out from laughing so hard.

Interesting how these funnies go around in circles. Must be part of the "we're all only 8 degrees of separation from everyone else in the world" thing.

Jonesy:  It's okay if you posted it before.  I missed it then and enjoyed it this time.  The wife thought it was hilarious.
