I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for Joe and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog........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.....I'd been sitting in the street licking my butt when
a car hit me.
I thought the tall guy was going to have to be carried out the
door.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are
here.............. we might as well dance.
