LilBailey Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 A TRIP TO ALDI Yesterday I was at my local Aldi buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet Dog, and was in the checkout line 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 the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 20 kilos 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 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 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. Aldi won't let me shop there anymore. P.S. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumsy Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 My mother in law who is retired walked into a movie theatre one afternoon that only had two other people in it. She walked right up to them and told them they were sitting in her seat......They actually got up to move before she told them she was just joking!!!
