Yesterday, I was at my local ASDA buying a large bag of Purina dog food for
my loyal pet 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 the 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
arse 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 ASDA.
Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the
world to think of daft things to say.
Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends...... it will be their
laugh for the day!

I managed to get myself banned from B&Q. Some bloke in an orange bib asked me if I wanted decking.
Luckily I got the first punch in.......
