I recently had several high-profile guests to a dinner party. Each guest requested freshly ground pepper?

Question

from my freshly-filled peppermill. Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely.
To my utter dismay, the next day I discovered that I had accidentally filled my pepper grinder with Four O'Clock seeds instead of black pepper.
I have 2 questions...
1) How long do these people have to live, and will I be blamed?
2) If I plant my peppercorns in the flower bed, will they take the place of Four O'Clocks?

Answer 1

That's a hard question. Let me think real hard...........

Oops! I crapped my pants!

Answer 2

I was curious about this myself, and found this out about the 4 o'clock seeds: "Toxicity: The roots and seeds contain a toxic alkaloid, and can cause stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea in children. However, a local Amish farmer reported that pigs are very fond of the fleshy taproot."

I like that last part.

Answer 3

Forgive my foolishness and ignorance, but what are Four O'Clocks? Will they gitcha high? Are they similiar to 4:20 seeds? LOL
