The 300.00 laugh

[tubtar]

Tuesday evening I was at a family gathering after the wake of one of my Aunts.
Our family is large and of Irish descent , which requires any place more that three of us gather have generous supply of alcoholic beverages......for the rest of them......I've had my day in the sun.
But a trip to the nearest booze mart was in order and since I can carry tremendous amounts of weight , it was mandatory that I accompany my cousin to the store.
We get there , he walks through the door....followed by his daughter who stops in her tracks.
She is looking down at the same thing I am looking down at.
A zip lock bag ( sandwich sized ) that is crammed full of the ganja.
I'm talking buds , and I mean full.
A four fingered lid if you grew up in my day.
Neither of us smoke , but I had to pick it up.
And before rational thought could take hold , I walked into the liquor store waving it over my head and hollering " WHO DROPPED THE FUCKING CHRONIC ?"
There were a half dozen or so customers in there , and everyone started laughing except the soul brother at the register.
He wasn't sure if he should cop to it being his , and I could see that he wasn't comfortable with this large , hairy , tattoo'ed caucasian who was holding his stash over his head.
He finally grew some nuts and mumbled that it was his and I gave it back to him.
Later it dawned on me that I should have held out for a cash reward or sold it to one of the few smokers I know......or even given it to young Ben Dibble for Christmas.
All I got out of the deal was a good laugh ........and a story , which is important in most everything you do.
But the money would have been nice.
Next time , I'll be ready though. Gas , grass or ass.....nobody rides for free !
J.S. :-D

Wow.. I can't say I would of done the same since I am a fucking chronic.. I wish I could find a big bag of dope like that for christmas. Assuming it was a normal sandwhich bag... if the fucker was packed RIGHT full that would be close to an ounce (28 grams)... a dime bag is about two nice sized joints and you usually get about .8 grams... so it goes without saying, that was alot of dope.

As for giving it to Ben... it's obvious I need it more then him.. :-D

[Trixie]

okay you win. story grants a chuckle and makes me want to belt out "WHO DROPPED THE FUCKING CHRONIC ?" in my dorm... if only I didn't know that I would have a dozen guys run up to me claiming it to be theirs....

[BenDibble]

holy crap! i wouldn't have minded that as a christmas present. hell, i would clea nyour house for it. :bugeyes:

No you won't.......there is an order in my chaos , just as there is a method in my madness ........and to change any of it would cause a tear in the space - time continuum which would upset every thing we hold sacred and maybe make me miss Rockford files !
Can't chance it.

Sorry for your loss. My dads family is Irish and I'll imagine you know a few Irish wake jokes. Don't smoke the Devils Weed but love the alcohol. Next time make up a bag with Ajax in it and ask who dropped it. A few years ago a boy asked an employee something. I wanted to know what John wanted and was told that he wanted some go fast. I fixed up a corner of a bag to look like about $25 worth ane he bought it. It was Ajax and he came back for more. in about an hour. :D :D I had a love for the burn at one time but thats crazy.

Hey BadGuy, didn't you know that gun guys are NOT supposed to smoke pot or use illegal, controlled dangerous substances. Shame on you, you, you HIPPY! :bwah: :bruce:

[TheBadGuy]

Yeah I am ashamed!! If its any condolence, I leave the guns locked up if I go into an altered state.

It's not really for the safety of myself or others. It's more b/c I was fondling my Sig one time and had it on my lap. I forgot it was there and stood up. It fell and landed on a concrete slab marking it up. I swore no matter how much I like to caress my guns, if I am getting lit in any fashion, I leave the guns alone:manganr:

[ded i]

I like being altered :Devilroar:

I'll bet he didn't want to fight Tubtar for it. :bwah:

[Dr Mabuse]

Tubtar - You were right to give it back. My thought is that if you find something, dope, money, etc., amongst a group, you give it up to the rightful owner. Since I consider the legalization of drugs a good thing, it would be no different if I found a wedding ring or an eight ball. I would try to find the rightful owner and give it back...... What the fuck have I been smoking! Of course I would keep it, unless it wasn't my type of drug, and then a comic scene, as you made, would be perfect! BTW, I don't remember four finger bags and the newer name Chronic ever being used together, except by old codgers who actually remember four finger bags and passing the joint, and now complain about those bogarting some little whimpy pipe, which seems to be where things are now. What went into four finger bags was, at least in L.A. where I was raised, was good old Mexican Dirt Weed. An honest smoke for an honest price.

up in northern cali we call a four finger bag an eighth! keep smokin america ....we'll grow more.

Yea.....................eighth pound !:jdwink2::tubtar:

[JackBlades]

Could've at least got a sixer of Heinies for it.....but I digress. If the owner is in the immediate vicinity, return the goods. Maybe it was his donkeys lunch. Side story - we have on the news here in Lost Angeles that some dude found a bank satchel containing $120K in a street gutter. Seems the armoured truck guy set it on the bumper whilst taking on cash and FORGOT. Drove off and it slid to the curb. Our boy found it and turned it in. :desmodus:

Methinks he assumed he was seen. That money would put a helluva dent in my mortgage principal. I'm still mulling over what I might have done were I in his loafers. Federally insured and all that. Mere drop in the bucket compared to some of the crap we throw tax dollars at. 2 minutes of what we piss away in unchecked losses would pay for my house AND retirement.
