Mush Ado About Nothing |

After a deluge of angry letters arrived in their offices, Galway City Council last Friday decided enough was enough. They were going down to the Galway Head Shop to confront this 'magic mushroom' problem head on. After much bickering about choice of route, type of sandwich to bring on the field trip and indeed which esteemed Councillor should walk up front, they finally set off.
Said Mayor Walsh, "We were concerned that the legal sale of these illegal drugs in Galway city. Surely the streets will soon be awash with stabbings and homosexual deviants if this is allowed to continue." So the boys and girls of the City Council set off on their journey. Upon arriving at the Galway Head Shop they were greeted by a friendly member of staff who invitedthem into the office and offered them all a cup of special tea togo with their sandwiches. Over the course of their conversation it was explained to the Council that magic mushrooms are not illegal, were highly unlikely to send anyone into a violent rage or to cause anyone to 'catch gay'. The meeting went very well for the boys and girls and they all agree as they left that the Head Shop appeared to be causing no harm. They also agreed that the shop was very sparkly, vivid and giggly and indeed the whole of Middle Street seemed to be pulsating with sound and colour. The only downside to the afternoon out for the Council was when Niall O'Brolchain though that his hands were dangerous croissants and tried to eat them before the exploded. Oh how they all laughed. |
