[lbo-talk] Cheech and Chong's Chong busted for bong

[Thomas Seay]

Jesus...what's so horrible about selling bongs?  Is
the problem that he called them "bongs", instead of
whatever the call them at the "smoke shops" where you
can purchase such parephenalia?  Next thing you know
they will be outlawing zig-zag papers

Maybe, since he is to be sentenced on September 11th,
we will hear that marijuana is the cause of terrorism.
At this point, nothing would surprize me.
