Maybe you've given some thought to this subject before? Most likely not. How to give a friend a pipe is something any peace loving hippy should know how to do. And since most people do not fall under this category - myself included - I just like to smoke herb - I figured I'd shed some light on the issue.
First - find a pipe that suits the lucky soon to be recipient. You don't want to go and give a six chambered four foot bong to someone who just started smoking a week ago - unless you don't like them. Or have the desire to render them useless. You should pay close attention to the little details - is it made of glass? Clay? Wood? Toilet-paper roll? Does it have pretty paintings on it? Is there a carb?
Second - contemplate the best time and place to surprise the lucky bastard. 5 minutes before a mid-term probably isn't the best idea. Unless of course you're still pissed off about him smoking all your shit. Now 4:20 PM on a Sunday afternoon - just in time to settle in and watch some Football is more like it.
Third - pack it with some good green! What the hell is the point to giving someone an empty pipe!?!? That's like getting a remote control car for Christmas - only to find out you have no batteries!
Fourth - toke up!

I got this for my good friend #*@@&. I bought if for him on my honeymoon as a thank you gift for hanging in there with me throughout the whole ordeal. I gave it to him the day he moved out of his apartment - after breaking up with his girlfriend. We christened his new place. Thanks #*@@&
About a month ago - I got a ticket. Not a speeding ticket - or anything of that nature. I was surprised with an Expired Validation ticket. Yes - my tags where out of date - by 2 months. But - I'd already paid my registration fees - but had overlooked that this year - I was required to get a Smog Check. Through a process that took entirely too long - namely - a letter from the DMV telling me that I needed to PASS a Smog Check - and then my tags would be sent to me.
So I go to check my car Smogged one day. I wait about 15 min at a Unical 76 - with my car in their shop. Then the guy comes out and tells me that their machine is broken - and it won't be fixed until the next day. Great. Ok - so I go to another spot that's somewhat close to my apartment. Their Smog Technician is on lunch break. So - I didn't get a Smog Check this day.
A few weeks go buy - and my Wedding was fast approaching - so I was pre-occupied with that - as well as getting ready for my Honeymoon. When - low and behold - I have a ticket waiting for me. $50. Not a lot - but more than I really wanted to pay.
I followed the steps outlined to Contest the Ticket - and I won. Just got the letter today. Needless to say - I did a little jig and gave myself a pat on the back.
Fight the Power!
Yeah yeah - I know - nothing original - but its funny.
Have LOTS of updates - but will get to that some other time - enjoy:
One day a teacher had a taste test with her students. She picked a little boy to do the first test. She blindfolded him, put a Hershey kiss in His mouth and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"No, I don't," said the little boy.
"Okay, I'll give you a clue. It's the thing your daddy wants from your Mom before he goes to work."
Suddenly, a little girl at the back of the room yelled, "Spit it out! It's a piece of ass!"
