****The Official Friday Silliness Thread****
420 ^ | April 20, 2007

420

Claim:   The term '420' entered drug parlance as a term signifying the time to light up a joint.

Status:   True.  



Origins:   Odd terms sneak into our language every now and then, and this is one of the oddest. Everyone who considers himself in the know about the drug subculture has heard that '420' has something to do with illegal drug use, but when you press them, they never seem to know why, or even what the term supposedly signifies.





I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?

~ Willie Nelson

Luke and Obi-Wan are in a Chinese restaurant having a meal. Skillfully using his chopsticks, Obi-Wan deftly dishes himself a large portion of noodles into his bowl, then tops it off with some chicken and cashew nuts. All this is done with consummate ease you’d expect from a Jedi Master. Anyway, poor old Luke is having a nightmare, using his chopsticks in both hands, dropping his food all over the table and eventually himself. Obi-Wan looks at Luke disapprovingly and says, “Use the forks, Luke.”

Switching from alcohol to drugs is bad because you’ll be high and dry.

Like this?

I went to a party once at an aquarium full of expensive koi fish. As I bent over to take a closer look, my bill fold fell out of my suit jacket. Before it touched the water, one of the fish leaped from the tank and tossed it to it's left. Again, another koi leaped and tossed it to another fish, never letting the wallet hit the water.

That may have been the first case of carp to carp walleting.

Back in the 1800s the Tate Watch Co. of Massachusetts wanted to produce compasses for the pioneers traveling west.

Their watches had been excellent, but the compasses were so unreliable that people often ended up in Mexico, or Canada.

Thus the expression, “He who has a Tate’s is lost.”
