A group of friends from the Cottonwood baptist Church wanted to get together
on a regular basis, socialize, and play games. The lady of the house was to
prepare the meal.
When it became time for Al and Janet to be the hosts, Janet wanted to outdo
all the others. Janet decided to have mushroom-smothered steak. But mush-
rooms are expensive. She then told Al, "No, I guess no mushrooms. They are
just too costly. We will have to do without them."
So Al replied, "Why don't you go down in the pasture and pick some of those
mushrooms? There are plenty in the creek bed."
"No," she said, "Some wild mushrooms are poison."
"Well, I see varmints eating them and they're OK," he said.
So Janet decided to give it a try. She picked a bunch, washed, sliced and diced
them for her smothered steaks. Then she went out on her back porch and gave
Ol' Spot (the yard dog) a double handful. Ol' Spot ate every bite. All morning
long, Janet watched Ol" Spot and the wild mushrooms didn't seem to affect him,
so she decided to use them. The meal was a great success, and Janet even
hired a helper lady from town to help her serve. She had on a white apron and
a fancy little cap on her head. After everyone had finished, they relaxed, and
played 42 and dominoes. About then, the helper lady came in and whispered
in Janet's ear.
She said, "Mrs. Williams, Ol' Spot just died!"
Janet went into hysterics. After she finally calmed down, she called the doctor
and told him what had happened.
The doctor said, "That'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 possible. We'll give everyone enemas
and we will pump out everyone's stomach. Everything will be fine. Just keep
them calm."
Soon they could hear the siren as the ambulance was coming down the road.
The EMT's and the doctor had their suitcases,syringes, and a stomach pump.
One by one, they took each person into the bathroom, gave them an enema,
and pumped out their stomach.
After the last one was finished, the doctor came out and said, "I think every-
thing will be fine now." And he left.
They were all looking pretty weak sitting around the living room and about
this time the helper lady came in and said, "You know, that fellow that ran
over Ol' Spot never even stopped.!"
