Yesterday I was at my local Kroger buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Red, the Wonder Dog and was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think - I had an elephant?

So because 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 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. 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 stopped to pee on a Fire Hydrant and a car hit me.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Kroger won't let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.
 
Are you serious that b/c you told a funny, sarcastic story and made people laugh, you got BANNED from the store???

The world is so darn serious today. People need to laugh more, you did just that...and...wow.

I thought this was hilarious!

Never give up on a good sense of humour....
 
Relax guys. This didn't happen to Kestas, he's just retelling an old joke that's been inhabiting the internet for several years and failed to properly attribute it.
 
Thankfully, I swallowed my coffee before I got to the end of the story, I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair

Nonetheless, hilarious.

It's amazing what people will ask. A year or two back I was at Lowes with my wife and kids. Had two in one of those truck shopping carts. Everyone but myself went outside to the car as I was in the checkout. On the way out, a dude noticing the empty cab on the shopping cart truck said "no kids??" I replied with; No I just like the cart. Got a long blank stare.
 
BTW, last time I was in the local Kroger, the cute little cashier was wearing a t-shirt imprinted with "I'd Love to Check You Out." The feeling was mutual....
 
I'm surprised. I didn't expect you guys to take it as my story, even though I wrote it in first person. I thought the title would be a giveaway, written in second person.
