Visiting Tesco
Yesterday I was at my local
TESCO buying a large bag of Purina dog food for my loyal pet and was in the
checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
What did she think I had an elephant? So, since I'm retired and have little to
do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the
Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in
hospital last time, but that I'd lost 2 stones before I woke up in intensive
care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works
is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time
you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was
going to try it again.
(I have to mention here that practically everyone in queue was now enthralled
with my story.)
Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food
poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's
arse and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so
hard.
I'm now banned from Tesco
Better watch what you ask retired people.
They have all the time in the world to think of daft things to say.
