Whilst not strictly speaking a Motorcycle related story, I did read it in Road magazine of the Motorcycle Action Group, so it is kind of related:

I had tears rolling down my face after reading this:

A pensioner was at his local supermarket buying a large bag of Purina dog food for his pet and was in the checkout queue when the woman behind asked if he had a dog.

Wondering why she thought he would buy the dog food if he didn’t have a dog he told her:

No he didn’t have a dog he was starting the Purina Diet again. He added he probably shouldn’t because he ended up in hospital last time, but that he’d lost two stones before he woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of his orifices and IV’s in both arms.

He told the woman that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way it works is that you load both your 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 he thought he would try it again.

By this time virtually everyone in the queue was enthralled with the man’s story.

Horrified, the woman asked him if he ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned him.

No, he said, he stepped off the curb to sniff an Irish Setters arse and a car hit them both!

A man in the queue nearly had a heart attack he was laughing so hard and the man is now banned from the supermarket.
