response to dumb question

I think we all could use a good laugh.
Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Athena, my wonder
dog at Wal-Mart and was in the check out line. A woman behind me asked if I
had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So since I'm retired,
with little to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog,
and that I was starting the Purina Diet again. I probably shouldn't,
I continued, because I'd ended up in the hospital last time. I awoke in an
Intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in
both arms. However, I did lose 40 pounds on the diet, so I was giving it
another go.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it
works is you load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or
two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete and I
needed to lose a few more pounds. (I have to mention here that practically
everyone in the line was, by now, enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, this woman asked if I ended up in intensive care because I'd
been poisoned by the dog food. I told her no, it happened because I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's ass and a car hit both of us.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was
laughing so hard!
WAL-MART won't let me shop there anymore.

A few years ago, I was providing care for these 2 little boys, very precocious children, ages 3 and 5 (2 of 6 children, by the way) and since they lived directly behind me the older siblings would walk over and pick them up if dad got home before mom did. The little fellas were trying to con me out of a snack at 5:25 one day and I told them it was time for them to get picked up and they would be eating supper soon, so they couldn't have a snack. They proceeded to do their level best to convince me their mother NEVER fed them. Upon further questioning, they did finally admit to being fed dog food.
After they left, I ran to the grocery store, where I ran into the mother, who, not having a dog and being told the story, stopped by my house for a scoop of dog food. At dinner time, making everyone's plate, served those 2 dog food...lol
