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...

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 had 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 just 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 to have to be carried
out.
