Purina Diet

This isn't my story, but it's true (from one of my friends). Here's his story:

"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 was
starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because
I'd ended up in the hospital last time. I've 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 Purina 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
that was 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."
