Guy #1: "My friend grows the s**t. It gives you more energy, more focus and it doesn't give you the munchies. What??? I smoke pot, is that a crime?"
Guy #2: "What about the crackheads, dopeheads?"
Guy #1: "They all get a free pass."
Guy #2: "Welcome to America, my friend!"
Guy #1: "It's just not right. There's nothing wrong with smokin' pot."
Guy #2: "Everything in moderation."
Guy #1: "That's right."
People hang out in front of Old Navy with their $3 coffees, $99 cell phone and a pack of smokes. We listen as we walk by to get our $3 coffees and take notes. This is what they say.

A penny for your thoughts... or a dime... a nickel?
Entering the local Rite-Aid/Brooks, one can always look forward to some good people watching and if you're lucky, you get a quick conversation with the new check-out clerk:
I picked up a couple items at lunch and the total cost came to $4.06. I gave the clerk a ten dollar bill and then gave him a dime and a penny as it was all I had.
He looked at me and said, "Do you have a penny?"
I said, "I gave you a dime and a penny."
His hand held the coins. He looked intently at his hand once more, saying "But I wanted to give you six cents."
I looked at his hand, which now held two pennies.
Once more, I said "But I gave you a dime and a penny."
He stared some more at the coins, turned to the cash register, grabbed some money and said, "Here's your change, six dollars and five cents."
I said, "Thank you very much sir!" and walked away.
How he finally came up with the right numbers, I'll never know.
