Ol' Spot.

[Maywalk]

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 neighbors' house each month. Of
course, the lady of the house was to prepare the meal.

When it came time for Jimmy and Susie Brown to have the dinner at their
house, like most women, Susie wanted to outdo all the others and prepare a
meal that was the best that any of them had ever lapped a lip over.

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 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
(the yard dog) 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 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. The men were visiting and the women started to
gossip a bit. 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. 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. Just keep them all there and keep them calm. It wasn't long until
they could hear the wail of the siren as the ambulance was coming down the
road.

When they got there, the EMTs got out with their suitcases and a
stomach pump and the doctor arrived shortly thereafter. 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."
