Seeing Jem's pensioner joke reminded me of this ,which I got in an email:
Didn't like shopping there anyway.Yesterday I was at my local Sainsbury's store buying a large bag of Winalot dog food. Whilst queueing the 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 no I didn;t have a dog,I was starting the Winalot diet again.I added that I probably shouldn't because last time I ended up in hospital but lost two stone before waking up in intesive care with tubes coming out of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told it was a perfect diet which works by loading your pockets with Winalot nuggets and munching one every time you feel hungry.The food is nutritionally complete and I was going to try it again.By now everyone in the queue was enthralled by my story.
Horrified,she asked me if I was in intensive care because the Winalot poisoned me. Of course not I said, I stepped off the kerb to sniff an Irish Setter's arse and a car hit me.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard.Now i'm banned from Sainsbury's
Better watch what you ask retired people.They have all the time in the world to think of daft things to say.
good one Headbanger. Some people do ask the daftest questions. Hospital visitors come into our canteen and say "Are you open " ? If we wernt, the doors would be locked.
