    The fool who overdid mushrooms and consequently severed his fingers and burned himself is solely responsible for what happened. I’m a little short on sympathy for him. He probably won’t want to do ‘shrooms again! He may qualify for SSI, but I hope not. Idiocy should not be rewarded!
    I might have tried ‘shrooms, too. I enjoyed acid many decades ago, but this is really a different breed of trouble. I think I’ll just have another beer and shake my head at this disaster.
