Didn't something like this happen about this time last year?

Yes - I wonder if it was mushrooms?

Wild mushrooms are difficult to identify.

Bad way to go out.

After 24hrs of vomiting you come good for a short while and think you're going to be fine, then the toxins kick back in.

There are so many mushrooms around here at certain times of the year
but I bet nearly all of them are deadly poisonous.

Looks like we may have a poisoner.

Homicide squad detectives have questioned 48-year-old Erin Patterson, who is believed to have cooked the meal that led to the deaths

Putin has food-tasters.
'Red fly agaric is traditionally considered a highly dangerous and poisonous fungus—even die-hard mushroomers often give it a wide berth.
In his short story “Haymakers,” the famous Russian writer Ivan Bunin mentions how Russian peasants happily ate fly agaric, which the nobility believed to have intoxicating properties.

To eat fly agaric without poisoning yourself, first of all you need to wash, peel and boil the mushrooms for 20 minutes. The first broth comes out bright orange, since it contains the most dangerous substances.'

While we're on Dad Jokes: how did the fairy get pregnant?

She sat on a toad stool.

(Think about it)

No, it's not gay.

The fairy is a female and the toad is a male.

She got pregnant by sitting on a toad stool - i.e. toad's tool.

Jesus, it's like talking to a 5 year old   ::)
