A group of country friends from the Cottonwood Baptist Church
wanted to get together on a regular basis to socialize, and play games.
The lady of the house was to prepare the meal.

When it came time for Al and Janet to be the hosts - Janet wanted to
outdo all the others. Janet decided to have mushroom-smothered steak,
but, mushrooms are expensive. She then told her husband, 'No
mushrooms. They are too high priced !'
He said, 'Why don't you go down in the pasture and pick some of
those mushrooms?
There are plenty in the creek bed.'
She said, 'No, some wild mushrooms are poisonous.'
He said, 'Well, I see varmints eating them and they're OK.'
So, Janet decided to give it a try. She picked a bunch, washed,
sliced, and diced them for her smothered steak. Then she went out on
the 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 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, socialized, and played
Phase 10 and Mexican train dominoes. About then, the helper lady from
town, came in and whispered in Janet's ear, '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 EMTs 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
everything will be fine now.' Then 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!'

Thats the good thing about growing older. I laughed long and hard when I read that and had to share it with my wife as well only to be informed that I had read it to her and laughed just as hard some time ago. I must have seen it elsewhere but I don't remember it and if it still cracks me up, it has to be a good one.
