Title: The purina diet
Post by: psik0tik on October 29, 2007, 12:57:17 pm: Story I read from another forum :) yw Chad

I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked me if I had a dog...(DUHHHH!!!) I was feeling a bit crabby so on impulse, I told her NO and that I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital the last time. BUT, 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 "Oh NO! I'd been sitting in the street licking my butt when a car hit me."

I thought the tall guy in back of the line was going tohave to be carried out.

That would explain why my server went offline all of a sudden and I get a phone call with a vague explanation about spilt beer.

Now that the tears have stopped rolling down my cheeks from laughing so hard, I can say this is the first time I've seen your post / story and I can't WAIT to share it with friends today.
