Yesterday I was at my local Asda buying a large bag of Purina dog food
for my loyal pet, Elsa, the Wonder Dog.

I 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 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 3
stone 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 a
poodle's rear end and a car hit me.

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

Asda won't let me shop there anymore.
 
Ha Ha that little tale made me LOL. No joke though we have a neighbour who eats dog biscuits, he loves dogs and has eaten them for years (the biscuits not the dogs) they haven't done him any harm but he hates the postman.

Haha!

Although seriously - what is it about the post man and the paper boy? My pup HATES them. Poor guys get a good barking session daily
 
For a complete human diet, I'd recommend Rat Chow as fed to laboratory rats. It's pretty much complete for us too.
Pig nuts might work too. After all they are omnivores like us!

HA, love it Pilgrim22 .

:lol:
 
In the uk, cat and dog food have to be edible for humans. I remember watching "pay your mortgage off in 2 years" and this family started eating cat food (not suggested by the guy running the show!).
