The Church Group Supper

I hope this isn't a repeat. I just received it from a friend and laughed out loud! ~~ DeeBee
A group of country friends from the Cottonwood Baptist Church got together on a regular basis to socialize and play games at a group member's house. The lady of the house chose and prepared the meal.
When it came time for Al and Janet to be the hosts, Janet wanted to outdo all the others. Her husband wanted to serve mushroom-smothered steak, but mushrooms were too expensive. Jane told him, 'Sorry - no mushrooms. '
Al suggested, 'Why don't you go down in the pasture and pick some of those mushrooms? There's plenty in the creek bed.'
Janet replied, 'No, some wild mushrooms are poisonous.'
Al shrugged, 'Well, I see varmints eating them and they're OK.'
Janet decided to give the wild mushrooms 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, but the wild mushrooms didn't seem to affect him. So she decided to use them.
Janet even hired a lady from town to help her serve. The helper lady wore a white apron and a fancy little cap on her head.
The meal was a great success. Afterwards, everyone relaxed, socialized, and played Uno and dominoes. About then, the helper lady from town came in and whispered in Janet's ear, 'Mrs. Williams, Ol' Spot just died.'
Janet nearly fainted. 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'll call for an ambulance and will be there as quick as possible. We'll give everyone enemas and 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.
The group members were all looking pretty weak sitting around the living room. About this time, the helper lady came in.
'You know,' she announced, 'the fellow that ran over Ol' Spot never even stopped!'
