A joke?
Yesterday I was at my local Walmart buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for our loyal pet Bear 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 butt and a car hit us both. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.
Walmart 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. F

Ryan Perrilloux calls Nick Saban
This conversation might have occurred. If it did, I assume that it happened soon after.
Ryan Perrilloux: Coach Saban?
Nick Saban: Yes?
Ryan Perrilloux: This is Ryan Perrilloux.
Nick Saban: From LSU ?
Ryan Perrilloux: Yes, sir. It seems that I was cut from the LSU Tigers for failing a drug test.
Nick Saban: Ouch! They still do those ?
Ryan Perrilloux: Yep. Anyway, I though that you might have a need for a QB.
Nick Saban: Always. Have you done any jailtime?
Ryan Perrilloux: Not yet. But Coach, I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

New experiences in 2008!
Yep, you read that right...Muenster. Oh, you meant the other thing...
OK, here goes. I'm walking down the hall of our apartment complex to the elevator, because I have stuff to take down to the garbage. I hear a man and his dog walking behind me and so I stop to push the elevator button and the dog runs up in front of me, so I say "Nice dog" and start to pet him and the owner of the dog says "Move your foot!!". It is about three seconds until I realize that the dog has just peed all over my foot (and shoe). Luckily, I was wearing Crocs, so they washed out easily.

Bird hunting
I positioned the grocery bag under the motionless bird and tried to use the cup as a scoop to move the bird into the bag. It was at the point that I realized that the bird was not, in fact, dead. He shot by my head and flew across the room. I took about a minute to evaluate tools that might be more appropriate for capturing a living bird that is in the house.
At this point, I was armed with a 32oz cup, paper grocery sack and am anxiety that I couuldn't shake. I put the bag on the ground and tried to shoo the bird into the bag. That didn't work. What I needed was a new plan.
I then put the bag on the ground and tried to shoo the bird into the bag. It worked !
I assumed that the bird was injured, so I called Amy to see what she thought was the most humane way to handle it. We decided I should release it and when I did it flew through the neighbor's backyard and disappeared.
