Dumb questions

[Carolynn]

When someone asks you a dumb question . .. . don't you
> just wish you could respond like you really wanted to?
>
> Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for
> Sophie the wonder dog at Wal-Mart and was about to check
> out, when a woman behind me asked me if I had a dog.
>
> Well... Looking at the bag and realizing that it actually
> did say DOG FOOD, in big bold letters. . . I was a little
> bit curious . . .

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

> I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that

> Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel
> hungry. The food is nutritionally complete, so I was going

> 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 backside and a car hit
> us both.
>
> I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart
> attack, he was laughing so hard, he fell.
>
> Wal-Mart has now taken away my shopping privileges.
