I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog Harley yesterday and was in the check out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.....(Duh!)
I was feeling a bit burned out from dealing politely with some stupid people at work yesterday, so on impulse, I told her "No, I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time, but I lost 50 pounds before I woke up 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 "It's an easy, inexpensive diet and the way it works is you 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'm going to try it again." I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy behind her.
She asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the hospital.
I said, "No ... I'd been sitting in the street licking my butt when a car hit me."
