Wednesday's
Joke
of the Day
When their mine became defunct, Jake and Abe decided to grow mushrooms in its cool, dark tunnels. Business prospered but Jake wanted all the profits, so he decided to kill Abe by planting some poisonous varieties in his partner's section. When Abe found out, he had Jake arrested.
Although the charge of attempted murder was dismissed for lack of evidence, the court did find Jake guilty of corrupting the morels of a miner.

Bonus Joke:
While hiking in the country, my friend Eve and I spotted a huge bed of mushrooms that we knew to be edible. We gathered a large basketful and sauteed them that night. My husband Phil refused to eat them, thinking they might be poisonous. Two weeks later, Eve and I gathered some more mushrooms. This time, Phil joined us.
"How is it that you're eating these mushrooms tonight," I asked, "when you wouldn't touch the ones we brought home two weeks ago? What changed your mind?"
"I thought about it," Phil explained seriously, "and I figured it would be better to be found dead with you two than to try to explain two dead women in my home."
