Banned from the CO OP

A Friend sent me this:
Banned from the co-op
Yesterday I was at my local CO-OP buying a large bag of Purina dog food
for my dog 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 bum 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 the Co-op!
Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the
world to think of daft things to say.
