A lady went gathering mushrooms in the veld. She gathered so many, that she decided to have a dinner party.
A little worried that she may have picked a poison one or two, she prepared the mushrooms and then gave the empty pot to the dog to lick clean, in the hope that if there was a problem the dog would get sick before her guests arrived. Thus alerting her to any danger.
She then instructed the gardener to notify her immediately if something happened to the dog.
Everything went smoothly but just after the guests had enjoyed the dinner, the gardener came running, shouting "madam, madam, Rover is dead."
Pandemonium reigned and everyone rushed off to the hospital for stomach pumps. Then when all the fuss was over, the lady questioned the gardener, as to what the dog had looked like.
"Oh, madam" he said, "that big truck 'sommer' squashed him flat."
Too many sweets
An elderly man sat next to a little boy on the bus. The little boy had a large packet of sweets on his lap and didn't stop eating.
The man said, "son did you know that eating too many sweets is not good for you?"
"My grandfather lived to be a hundred," the boy answered.
"Was that because he ate a lot of sweets?" asked the gentleman.
"No! It was because he minded his own business," was the answer.
