What a trip.

Magic mushrooms may have been to blame for Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s mortifying bow before a Chinese official last week.

Yellen, 76, gobbled four portions of jian shou qing, a type of wild mushroom, when she dropped in at a casual Beijing restaurant soon after she arrived there on July 6, Chinese state media reported in an effusive story that took care to praise the secretary’s chopstick skills.

But the funky fungi are known in their native province of Yunnan for their unpredictable psychedelic effects, CNN reported.

“You thought you were walking straight but you just fell sideways,” one gourmand told the Xinhua state news agency in a report about the ‘shroom’s potent powers — published only after Yellen departed.

This is one of the most preposterous excuses for a total lack of professionalism that I’ve ever heard.

FUN-FICTION:

Janet was having a fine time at the diplomat’s dinner.
But in spite of being one hour behind schedule, Ms Yellen refused to leave the restaurant until all the diplomats agreed to sing obscure 1980’s hit song ‘Turning Japanese, I think I’m turning Japanese, I really think so!”
with her.

A third round of local favorite ‘Snow Beer’ was poured for all.

I don’t think Gramma Yellen needs an excuse to act like an idiot. It comes naturally.

[Yah. We’re really comin’ off good to the world...]

Perhaps the Biden Administration is just a comedy show to entertain the rest of the world?

You wouldn’t even have to have a laugh soundtrack.

The audiences are rolling on the floor LOL, no doubt.

Probably a lot of Bud Light commercials in there too. Target......

Nothing to worry about. The effects are transitory.
