Never know what you'll hear while waiting to be checked out!!!


A RETIREE'S LAST TRIP TO COSTCO


Yesterday I was at the Costco buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Owen, the Wonder Dog and was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had an elephant?


So because 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 the
hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in
an intensive care ward 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 pants pockets
with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel
hungry. The food is nutritionally complete, (certified), so it works
well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that
practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)


Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog
food poisoned me. I told her no, I had stopped to pee on a fire
hydrant and a car hit me.


I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was
laughing so hard.


Costco won't let me shop there anymore.


Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in
the World to think of crazy things to say.


Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends...it will be
their laugh for the day!
