A trip to Costco

Yesterday, I was at my local Costco buying a large bag of Purina Dog Chow for my loyal pet, Jake the Wonder Dog, and was in the check-out line when a 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 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 you 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 poodle, and a car hit me.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Costco won't let me shop there anymore.

    I never forget the first time I heard that. I was sitting in a chair getting a haircut and the guy next to me told me a version of that joke. I could hardly sit still to finish the haircut I was laughing so hard! Nice to hear your version too!

    I saw that email a couple of years ago. But, of course it's still highly amusing!

    This wasn't a true story — just a joke I thought I'd pass along. Glad you all enjoyed it!
