The Purina Diet
« on: April 28, 2007, 10:18 »
This story has been doing the rounds by email...


I was in Asda 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, but that I'd 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 bulged out of her head.  I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally believing it . I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works  is to load your pockets  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 was that why I ended up in the hospital.  I said no.....I'd been sitting in the street licking my arse when a car hit  me.  I thought the tall guy was going to have to be carried out the door.
There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is readily adopted.
