#7 My High School (in a small Texas town back in the '70's) had a drug education class. It ended when they passed out 3 "marijuana cigarettes" to show us what they looked like and collected 4 back. It was the first attempt at a drug education class, it was never repeated, and never mentioned again.
We used to make bongs in woodshop. Rolled joints in study hall. Fairly sure we never actually used any drugs in school. This was before they brought drug sniffing dogs into schools, or had metal detectors, at least in our high school.
I always did a "sweep" of whatever house we rented when we went to a new duty station. I almost always found drugs, and shitcanned them afterwards. On one occasion we went from an apt. to a house, and behind the garage, I found a small garden of pot. I saved one small plant, put it into a paper bag, and took it aboard the ship (USCG Cutter) . I showed it to the XO, asked him if he wanted to fuck with the OPS Boss, and he, of course, said YES!. Now we had these interior bulkheads in the Officers cabins, which allowed them to make a recessed porthole. Nice place to grow plants..... Anyhow, every duty day I'd water it. It stayed there for a couple weeks, not being noticed. One day however, a young Petty Officer was summoned to the Ops Boss's cabin for some infraction, and at the end of the supposed ass chewing, when asked to respond, the kid just says "Oh yeah, well at least I'm not growing pot in my stateroom!" Much embarrassment, finger pointing and amusement ensued. I was later instructed to get rid of the plant, and it went into the harbor.
Newport Beach Cali, late 1970s, someone planted weed seeds in the front flowerbeds of the police station. The gardeners liked the color, and trimmed them into a hedge. The Chief held a news conference about drugs in front of the station, and the reporter asked about the weed he was growing. Oops. John in Indy
#3, me and 2 buddies on a Halloween night went out, stole a bunch of traffic cones, and changed the roads in the country, so that the busses could not get through their regular routes in the morning. There were late busses all over the place the next morning. We never said a word as to what happened. But we knew, and just a look made us bust out laughing, for at least a few weeks. #4, Reminds me, how in the heck can women fight in boxing leagues, or MMA events? I mean, I have been hit in the face, both with a baseball, and once by doing a nose dive right straight down onto the pavement, breaking my nose both times. And it hurts like hell, and you definitely don't want to repeat that again. But boxers will step right up, and can count on it happening quite often. The same with getting hit in the mouth. It will swell, no doubt about it, and it will hit your teeth or mouth guard, and still swell, and make you feel like Donald Duck for a few days. And again, it hurts like crazy. No thanks, not if I have the choice.
Wirecutter, you’re slipping man, in times past you’d have included a trimmed cut of the chick in number 8 in your I’m Sure She’s Taken, Men section. You not feeling well?
