Customs Officer's Mushroom Mishap: A Tale of Caution and a Dead Dog

One day a customs officer managed to get some fresh mushrooms. He was so 'delighted' what he had bought that he offered to share the mushrooms with his brother officers. When their breakfast arrived 'unexpectedly', each officer found some mushrooms on his plate.

'Let the dog try a piece first.' suggested one 'cautious' officer who was afraid that the mushrooms might be poisonous.

The dog seemed to 'enjoy' his mushroom, and the officers then dared to eat their breakfast, saying that the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste.

An hour later, however, they were all astonished 'when' the gardener came in and said seriously that the dog was dead. Immediately, the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital. Pumps were used and the officers had a very hard time getting rid of the mushrooms that remained in their stomachs.
