Ex-Fuller Brush-Stanley Products rep George Ziegler informs us of some unexpected perils in these un-tasty morsels:

A man was telling a friend that he had three wives that all died from the same thing.

"The first one died eating the mushrooms, and the second one died the same way," he stated. Then he stopped for a moment.

His friend, astonished, asked about the third wife.

"She died of brain concussion," he replied. "She wouldn't eat the poison mushrooms."
