Your Smile For Today

        The next time someone asks you a dumb question wouldn't you like to respond like this?.....

       Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Athena the  wonder dog at Wal-Mart and was about to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I
had, an elephant?

So since I'm retired, with little to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that 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 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
and that 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.)

Horrified, she asked 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 ass and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack,
he was laughing so hard!
