Food Joke

Every lunch hour Barry picked up a can of dog food at the deli, went across the street to a park bench, and ate the whole can with evident gusto. A doctor who happened to pass through the park regularly couldn't help noticing Barry's behavior and finally couldn't resist offering some advice. "I'm an internist," he explained, "and I think you should know that stuff isn't a very healthy diet for a human. In fact, eating it could kill you." "Thanks for the advice, Doc," said Barry, wolfing down another forkful, "but I've been eating it for years now and I feel fine." The doctor shrugged and walked off. A few months later he noticed Barry was missing from his bench, and after a while he asked another park regular what had happened. "He's dead." The doctor shook his head, "I told him that dog food would kill him." "It wasn't the dog food that did it," the fellow reported. "He was sitting on the curb licking his balls when a truck backed over him."
