OT: Joke for those of us that are retired & have QI's

I RARELY read or forward jokes, but this one made me laugh out loud - I hope it tickles your funny bone as well:)

A TRIP TO COSTCO...

Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder 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 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 stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's ass and a car hit us both.

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

Costco 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. Forward this (especially) to all your retired friends......it will be their laugh for the day.

I'm not sure you have to be retired to be that kind of horse's patoot

- My brother & I have been all our lives, and we got it from our dad. He passed away when I was so young that it must be genetic.

Any time I buy a gallon of milk at the store, and the clerk asks if I want a bag, (I've gotten so used to this by now I don't even have to think about it) I reply, "No thanks, I'll drink it here."

When DW & I were dating in high school she worked as a grocery checkout; I once had her convinced that spam was a genetic cross between a pig and a cow. She passed this newly acquired knowledge on to her boss and co-workers to impress them how much she was learning about the grocery business. I'll leave to your imaginations the call I got from her that evening...
