How Pizza Saved a Life ....

No, Bobby... This Doesn't Mean You Can Eat MORE Pizza


     Time for one of THOSE stories again... No, pizza is not a miracle food now, or a superfruit kind of antioxidant. Anything made with dough and cheese rarely is.   But, to a lady in Memphis this week, it might as well have been.


     I never heard of this, but Domino's Pizza has a promotion called Pizza a Day. I imagine it is some type of discounted high-volume club plan, where every day, you get a pizza from them. We also imagine it's has a five year limit - which is the average time it takes to completely clog your arteries.  Still, to an 82 year old woman in Memphis it was a nice deal.  The employees of the local Domino's there said she liked her Thin Crust with Pepperoni, and she also liked the daily visitor at the door. Not an uncommon thing for elderly people...


    But , where it possibly saved her life was when Monday came around, and the people at Domino's noticed that she never called in her daily order on Sunday.  So, on a whim, they visited her house - and they found her incapacitated on the floor.  She had a fall on Saturday, and could not call for help.  The Domino's driver called 911, and EMT's came and assisted her. She'll be OK, but without that pizza coming every day, who knows... Pizza CAN save a life - at least in the short term.
