Well, probably the unicorn. But you can't trust them to tell the truth, so there's that.

Unicorns are bound by contract to tell the truth.

It’s those filthy, stinking dragons that lie all the time.

You misspelled unions. See how well contract promises are kept?

But your point about the dragons makes a lot of sense.

“In 1973-74 I tried mushrooms twice and LSD once. They made me want to climb and jump from heights that I misjudged. NOT recommended.”

Back in 81, I was invited to an off-base party of a civilian girl. Her friends thought it would be fun to involuntary dose me with a hit of dancing bear blotter acid. Spending years with Dead Heads taught me two things. The first is never take anything offered unless you know what it is. The second is no matter how many different ways the Dead play Casey Jones, the song still sucks.

I took the hit, pretended to put it under my tongue and the first chance I had I put it in the beer can of the idiot who tried to dose me. 30 minutes went by, then 45. People started to gather around me to see me freak out. They were making faces at me, going, “woooooooooooo” like a ghost and pretty much acted like idiots.

At around the hour mark, I got up and acted like I was wobbling. The whispers and giggling started. I walked up to the idiot who dosed me and in my slowest voice said, “yooooooooooo doooooooon’t loooooooook soooooooooooo goooooooood. Are yooooooooooo deaddddddddddddd?”

I walked out of the house hysterically laughing. Never heard what happened to the idiot. But I know one thing. That wasn’t his first hit of the evening.

Shrooms and tall buildings are a bad combination.

Uh no they are not like booze or weed or anything else. There are no moderate shrooms there are only shrooms. :-)
