New diet ad.

[Mike B.]

I know I have a weird sense of humor cause I liked this one!

I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for Jake [my

dog] and was standing in the check out line. A woman behind

me asked if I had a dog........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 the last time I

tried it I ended up in the hospital , but that I had lost 50

pounds before I awakened in the intensive care unit with

tubes coming out of almost everywhere and IV's in both arms.



Her eyes about bugged out of her head. So 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 just load your pockets or purse with

Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel

hungry. The package says 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 I thought something in

the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in

the hospital. I said no.....I was sitting in the road

licking my butt when a car hit me.



I thought the tall guy was going to have to be carried out

the door.
