Banana Split

 

Milk Wood

"A banana split, please."

The two witches looked at each other, puzzled.

"We don't have banana splits."

"What do you have?"

"We have the Death Cap."

The customer laughed."Autumn Skullcap."

The customer laughed again.

"And the Destroying Angels special."

"Fascinating! OK, let's have the special then."

"Are you sure?"

The customer nodded.

"I feel adventurous!"

They prepared the potion and watched him trot off, sipping from his bottle of Destroying Angels.

"Did we tell him the mushrooms were poisonous?"

"I don't think we did and I don't think he read the sign."

"We can't fight stupid, can we?"

"Nope."
