Speaking of Dogs...I Needed this Laugh Today!

Got this note from a friend today and it cracked me up....

I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dogs 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'm starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time. But I did lose 50 pounds before I awoke 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 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 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 the 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.
