Fun. The actress (or writer, friend, etc) had perfect short shots for the questions, expressing without speaking. Great marketing, because you know some of us will check out Mindful Doodling. Cute!
And, this being the 6th, I thought to send this, a cute (hopefully not inappropriate) joke.
A RETIREE’S LAST TRIP TO COSTCO
‘Yesterday, I was at Costco buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Bruce, the Wonder Dog, which weighs 191 lbs.
I 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 jacket 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.
Costco won’t let me shop there anymore.’
