| The toadstool stopped off on a trip
and decided he wanted to stay in a town
overnight. He went to the best hotel
said he wanted a suite. He was taken
up to a three-room unit overlooking downtown.
It was very businesslike and severe.
The toadstool didn't like it, indicating he
was something of a romantic, and wanted to be
surrounded by romantic things. As he summarized it:
"What I'm really looking for is a mush room."

...The 'shrooms levity disarmed the cantankerous cook
(who was now forced to put food on the grille with
his mouth), still steaming over the former's slimy
character.
So the cook spawned a different approach - "Surrrrrre,
I'll fire somethin' up for ya" ...and soon presented
a char-broiled patty. The mushroom sampled it and
promptly spat it out. "This stuff tastes like sh*t !"
The cook grinned.
"Close. Toad stool."

fungus.

| .0 reminds me of the following little story:
A piece of string walks into a pub, strolls up to the bar and says,
"A pint of Courage Best Bitter, please."
The landlord stares at it. "Er - you're - a piece of string!"
"So? Anything wrong with that?"
"I suppose not. One pint of bitter, sir."
The piece of string curls up in a corner with its pint.
A little later, *another* piece of string walks in. "A gin and
tonic, please, landlord." The landlord stares even harder. "But
you're a piece of string!"
"Very observant. Now, about this drink..."
The second piece of string takes its drink over and becomes
entwined in conversation with the first.
After a few minutes, the bar door opens and a gnarled, twisted
piece of string totters through. It's tatty, it has strands working
loose at either end, and it's bent over and through itself
in several places.
"Half of lager, landlord," it croaks.
The landlord, at the end of his tether, peers closely at it and
declares in an accusing tone,
"You're a piece of string!"
"No," answers the string, "I'm a frayed knot."

| I say I say I say, my dustbin's full of toadstools.
How do you know they're toadstools?
Because there's not mush room in it.

I remembered the right song but the wrong singer - thanks.
Very vague and distant memory, you understand - it was before
my time ;-)
