21024. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/27/2007 5:51:33 PM From an email I received . . .
"I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog - and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog...(Duh!)
"I was feeling a bit crabby, so on impulse, I told her no, 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 unit with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms.
"Her eyes about bugged out of her head.
"I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works is to load your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The package said 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, particularly a tall guy behind her.
"Horrified, the lady asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the hospital?
'I said. "No, I'd been sitting in the street licking my butt when a car hit me!".
"I thought the tall guy was going to have to be carried out the door.... 21025. wonkers2 - 1/27/2007 7:39:51 PM Pretty funny! 21026. judithathome - 1/29/2007 1:44:07 AM tmesis, you little shit! ;-) 21027. Magoseph - 1/29/2007 7:42:05 AM So there's a joke in tmesis'post? I can't see it. 21028. alistairconnor - 1/29/2007 11:37:12 AM Well I thought it was funny. i.e. I was fooled for a couple of seconds... 21029. judithathome - 1/29/2007 7:19:04 PM It looked like an obit at first. 21030. concerned - 1/29/2007 7:58:00 PM ... Those are the years he has been alive so far
But who's counting? 21031. Magoseph - 1/29/2007 8:39:41 PM Okay, Judith, then tmesis got me good, so very good that first I checked if the space in his post had some white font explanation and then after going to Google, felt obliged to post about the fact that I didn’t get the humor. 21032. thoughtful - 1/29/2007 9:39:32 PM Wiz, check out #6704 in health thread...i posted that joke last november...though i suppose it's good enough to repeat. 21033. Magoseph - 1/30/2007 5:44:59 PM Hello, everyone,
It’s freezing up here and the weatherman says there’ll be no let-up the rest of the week. I just talked to my brother and he laughed saying that if I had been smart, I’d have managed long ago to be somewhere warmer. 21034. alistairconnor - 1/30/2007 5:53:54 PM Well yes, you could be a baker's wife in Dieulefit or Pierrelatte... 21035. judithathome - 1/30/2007 6:57:21 PM Okay, what gives? I can't get into the Mote from my regular bookmark but I can get in from Oz's place? What's going on? 21036. wabbit - 1/30/2007 7:31:50 PM
21037. Magoseph - 1/30/2007 8:00:42 PM ...you could be a baker's wife...
No kidding, Ali, luckily there were some evident comely charms in play for me and a richer bidder.:)
Judith, I had this problem and solved it in making The Mote my homepage.
21038. judithathome - 1/30/2007 8:41:32 PM It's not doing it now. I got in just fine this time.
Hey, here's a great video...it's a juggler who juggles the music, too. 21039. wonkers2 - 1/31/2007 5:58:23 AM Candidate for the Darwin award! 21040. judithathome - 1/31/2007 7:08:12 AM You're kidding! I thought he was great. 21041. wabbit - 1/31/2007 3:16:57 PM Maybe wonkers2 was referring to human-slingshot-chick. 21042. Magoseph - 1/31/2007 5:05:49 PM I read somewhere that the slingshot video was shot in Utah on a milionaire's property. At least, the girl was probably paid well for the stunt. 21043. judithathome - 1/31/2007 5:53:07 PM That looks like middle to lower class tract housing...not millionaire digs by any means.
I don't know why I missed that yesterday.....
