Ate a lawyers wig... 2 actually

Donw my wife is a court reporter and to your list we can add: mumbling incomprehensibly, talking over other attorneys/judge, jangling keys/pocket change, speaking at over 300 words a minute, crying (yes, crying), arrogance coupled with incompetence (few things are worse than that), and many more. She does have her favorites, though.

Are you experiencing any of these symptoms: An urge to file a motion or brief? Constantly raising objections when anyone else is speaking? Or, the urge to chase ambulances? If so please consult a mortician.

I have some unidentified 'srooms growin' in my yard. Do ya mind if I send you a few? If you continue to post here, that will mean they are safe for me.

You're a brave man,but what kind of epitaph would that have been? Died from the wrong mushroom. I hope mine is closer to, died from the bullet of a jealous husband at 101! That still gives me 35 years to change my mind.

Just stupid or Africa's not for sissies 🤞

Cajones, my friend, cajones grande.

Now that would have been a tad sad

[grantgallagher]

You are a braver man than me, sir. Now imagine if you had almost died and they were disappointing, lol.

Did research first.

Interesting experiment but man that took guts. Mushrooms can be nasty little killers if not careful.

I will say it did take me working up some pluck to follow through but I did and continue to exist.
I came across 3 growing in my yard and I had promised myself the next time I come across some that haven’t "inked out" I would give them a bash.
I had spotted them early morning and when I was ready to cook them late afternoon the largest of the three was starting to "ink" at the bottom tip, so it may have been okay but I was already skittish so gave that one a miss.

I was anxious and could feel it in my gut when I placed them in the pan with butter, and at the same time wondered what kind of "pluck" I might end up on if I wasn’t to die.
The wife was not impressed when I told her I had cooked and eaten them (too late I cried).

The bottom line is they were a little disappointing after all the hype (my hype).
I fried them in butter and added a pinch of salt and a little ground black pepper.
They had a very mild nutty mushroom taste and I suspect the nuttiness was from the butter.

Been there done that and class the experience as overrated.
