A funny story- I have no idea who wrote it. Just enjoy!!
Ole Spot
A group of country neighbors wanted to get together on a regular basis
and socialize. As a result, about 10 couples formed a dinner club and
agreed to meet for dinner at a different neighbor's house each month.
When it came time for Jimmy and Susie Brown to have the dinner at their house, Susie wanted to outdo all the others and prepare a meal that was the best that any of them had
A few days before the big event, Susie 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 poisonous."
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. Then she went out on the back porch and got Ole Spot's (the yard dog) bowl and gave him a double handful.
Ole' Spot didn't slow down until he had eaten everybite. 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 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 they all
began to kick back and relax and socialize.
About this time 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.
We will pump out everyone's stomach and everything will be fine.
the EMTs got out with a stomach pump and the doctor arrived
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.
About this time the town lady hired to serve food came in and said,
"You know, that fellow that ran over Ole Spot never even stopped!"
