Hello Friends
A group of country neighbors planned a get together and Jim Bob
and Susie Brown volunteered to cook dinner. Of course, Susie
wanted to make the BEST dinner possible, got out her cookbook
and decided to have mushroom smothered steak.
When she went to the store to buy some mushrooms, she found the
price for a small can was more than she wanted to pay. She then
told her husband, "We aren't going to have mushrooms because
they are too expensive."
He said, "Why don't you go down in the pasture and pick some of
those mushrooms? There are plenty of them right in the creek
bed."
She said, "No, I don't want to do that, because I have heard
that wild mushrooms are poison."
He then said, "I don't think so. I see the varmints eating them
all the time, and it never has affected them." After thinking
about this, Susie decided to give this a try and got in the
pickup and went down in the pasture and picked some. She brought
the wild mushrooms back home and washed them, sliced and diced
them to get them ready to go over her smothered steak.
Then she went out on the back porch and got Ol' Spot's bowl and
gave him a double handful. She even put some bacon grease on
them to make them tasty. Ol' Spot didn't slow down until he had
eaten every bite.
All morning long Susie watched him and the wild mushrooms didn't
seem to affect him, so she decided to use them. The meal was a
great success, and Susie had even hired a lady from town to come
out and help her serve. She had on a white apron and a little
cap on her head. It was first class.
After everyone had finished and was enjoying typical small talk,
the lady from town came in from the kitchen and whispered in
Susie's ear. She said, "Mrs. Brown, Spot just died."
With this news, Susie went into hysterics. After she finally
calmed down, she called the doctor and told him what had
happened. The doctor said, "It's bad, but I think we can take
care of it. I will call for an ambulance, and I will be there as
quick as I can get there. We will pump out everyone's stomach
and everything will be fine."
Soon the EMTs were there with their suitcases and a stomach
pump, the doctor close behind. One by one they took each person
into the master bedroom and pumped out their stomach. After the
last one was finished, the doctor came out and said, "I think
everything will be fine now", and he left.
They were all looking pretty peaked sitting around the living
room, and about this time the town lady came in and said, "You
know, that fellow that ran over Ol' Spot never even stopped."
