Funny but a bit embarrassing
 
I was in the supermarket wearing my work clothes - worn out jeans and T-shirt with holes (so looked a bit down on my luck) and was buying premium grade cat food for Toby the ex-wild cat. In the queue the lady in front of me said "Your cat is lucky getting that stuff". I thought I was being funny and replied "It's not for the cat it's for me. It's guite good, I fry it and have it on toast." When I got to pay for it the checkout girl said the lady in front of you has already paid for it :o She was already gone so I couldn't tell her I was only joking and here is your money back.

Lol, you should eat a can to ease your conscience.

Ooooh saucer of milk you!

masraum 12-12-2010 11:00 AM

hahahha, hilarious. Wow!

Well, she feels good that she did a good deed. Now, pay it forward. Take some food to someone that is homeless or volunteer someplace or something.

dependencies 12-12-2010 11:03 AM

I like the way you think.

Unless you fry it up, and have it on toast, it's a open & shut case of outright fraud if you ask me :(.





























ps: ya can't even give it to the cat either :) Funny stuff...

I was in a grocery store pretending to enjoy my shopping experience and there was one of those displays with little cut up pieces of Spam or whatnot. Yes it was not Spam. It was not even whatnot. It was fancy-do cat food. I'd popped one down the hatch just in time to see the lady react in sort of horror. Awful.

I think this is fair, but I would die of all sorts of diseases. I'll do the random act of kindness in a resturant or cafe for some old people to, ummm, repent my sins.

+1 make sure to cook to at least 180 degrees internal temp.

More $$$ left for BEER!

That's funny!

Green 912 12-12-2010 01:27 PM

Thats funny. You have to at least take a bite and post a picture.

Reminds me of one many years ago. I was sitting on a short wall in front of a Safeway waiting for a co worker to come out with his lunch. I had been working on an old rusty cast iron pool pump that was in a cold basement pump room. I was covered in rust and dirt. I took my damp hat off, set it on the wall next to me, leaned back on the grass hill behind me in the warm sunshine and dozed off. Co worker come out and asked why I had $2 in my hat. Someone tossed some money in my hat while I was catching rays. I got razed for that for a long time after.

You need to pay this forward and do something kind for someone, even if it's a cat.
Or you could just go with it, munch down some premium cat food and sit on floor and lick your butt.

The first time I met my future wife I was replacing the engine in my '67 fastback.

I was elbow deep in grease, unshaven, wearing greasy clothes etc. She walked by with her folks and her siberian Husky. I went out to see her husky and she was repulsed by me I could tell that she didn't want me to even touch her dog.

she still denies it to this day that we met before a year later when I was all cleaned up.

Don't knock it until ya try it...

That's a damn funny story. Would've been better if she'd seen you get into your P-car on the way out. :)

Why would they have such a display? Do people bring cats to the grocery store? Weird.

Crowbob 12-12-2010 04:19 PM

I have no idea, Zoom. I did not even glance at anything other than the plate of whatever it was I ate. Why the stoopeed store would do this is one of the mysteries of the universe. Awful.

Curious, but not enough to try myself...was it mouse flavored?

Someone gave my father 25 cents for a grocery cart last week, they said he 'looked like he needed it'. :)

Cat fud probably has more controls by the FDA than human food does....

My mom once accidentally ate the cat food off a fork she thought was just her fork full of meatloaf. She did not like cat food.

Growing up with cats, I personally can't stand the smell of canned tuna fish, since it is very close in smell to "Fish-Feast" versions of cat fud. My wife eats canned tuna fish often, and when she does, I just meow in response to everything she says...

-Z-man.

Oh Shyt that is funny! Just think, you will be the topic of conversation at the dinner table and cocktale parties for the next 6 months!!!

BTW - I have seen what cat & dog food is made of - even Science Diet and the like. You really don't want to eat it (unless you were going to starve to death).

Not all cats like mice....they do all lick their butts though ....maybe it was butt flavored :D

Now THAT is a funny story. It's gonna make me chuckle all day long, thanks.

When I was a kid in Jr. High, some of us always brought our lunches and ate together. One big kid would bum a sandwich off of this one kid everyday. One day the big kid came and said, "Hey, let me have a sandwich." The kid who always had to give up a sandwich handed one over. The big kid took one bite, spit it out and said, "This is dog food." The other kid said, "Yep." That was the end of bumming sandwiches. So, I suppose it is easy to tell whether something is dog or cat food.

Les Paul 12-13-2010 09:30 AM

Similar story here. Worked at a Carbon Black
plant early 70's on summer breaks. There were 3 or 4 schoolboys then the regular guys some who had been there over 30 years. One guy probably 50, we thought he was old, would mooch off everyone. The schoolboy usually ate 2 tuna salad sandwiches. The 2nd he had put cat food in. In a lunchroom with 20 or so guys the old moocher sure enough asked the kid for his second sandwich. Sure enough 2 bites and he knew and was pissed off. Eveyone in there laughed so he couldn't do anything. He never asked anyone for anything the rest of the summer.
