At Least He's Honest


I had lunch today with my old buddy from law school. I met him at his girlfriend's house in Santa Monica and we strolled down to the ocean for our meal. Afterwards, we walked along the boardwalk in Venice Beach, which provides one of the greatest open-air freak shows in the world. Seriously, NO visit to L.A. is complete without coming here and meeting its denizens as the one pictured above.

I saw a couple of hippie kids in Seattle with a sign like that. Well, first they had a sign that said "Will play [guitar] for shower and meal," so I gave them my leftover pad thai. Then later I saw them with a sign that said "Need $ for pot." I had the same reaction you did: hey, at least they're honest...

See, that's what kills me.
In my day, if I needed pot, I KNEW I had to get a JOB and WORK to get pot money.
Now, they just beg.

"NO! I will not give you money for pot, but not for the reason you're thinking!"

Today, they complain if they get the bunk, Digi, but they're not willing to lift a finger for the primo.
Spoiled brats.
