I’ve heard of hurl/hock a “loogy” but never “Hurl a Doobie”. What is this world coming to.

Did anyone see Cheech and Chong in the neighborhood?

Stupid. If they used a decent sized trebuchet they would have done better.

The same reason that hospitals do not use dog scans.

Lab tests?

Yes; but ONLY cat scans.

That’s why we have a cat, we get free cat scans and are very healthy as a result.
