Sorry, I couldn't resist! THE NEW DIET CRAZE (YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT)

"

A TRIP TO  SAM'S CLUB

AKA YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

Yesterday I  was at my local SAM'S CLUB buying a large bag of Purina  
dog chow for  my loyal pet, Biscuit, 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 that no, I didn't have a dog, I  
was 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 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. 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 poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff a Black lab and a

car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was  
laughing so hard.
 
Sam's Club won't let me shop there anymore.
 
Better watch what you ask retired people! They have all the time in the  
world to think of crazy things to say. Forward this (especially) to all
your retired friends.......it will be their "laugh for the day"!

too funny

Posted 13 Years Ago


OMG that is too funny, some people ask the dumbest questions... like Bill Envall says, "Here's you sign."
That is like having a litter box and someone saying do you have a cat? I would love someone to say, No that is for the guests.
One I always get is wearing a Raiders hat or shirt and someone saying "You like the Raiders", Nope this is how I protest them.
Thanks for sharing that funny story.

P.S. I hope the diet didn't make you start chasing cars and the postman.

This is so funny, I was at a feed and garden shop and the shop owner was munching
on a chicken jerky treat that I give my dogs. He said they weren't to bad.
