Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for December 21, 2021

Damn you!! Autocorrect!!

Don’t bogart that gift.

So you can do a number two in the river and go rolling on the river?

Puff puff pass….

Ah, the joint of giving!

Smoke ’em if you got ’em.

Rolling Paper? Hummm, Looks like ‘Post-it’ note paper to me.

A useful gift wrapping!

As a non-smoker it took me a while to figure out what rolling paper is. Toilet paper would have been better. And easier to use to wrap something.

Why does my gift smell… herbal?

Wrapped with THC… oops, I mean TLC.

Why not toilet paper?

Meanwhile, somewhere…someone is smoking a doobie with Rudolf on it.

There went Christmas – Up In Smoke.

“at ease….smoke ’em if you got ’em. ’’

Doooood, fire up that package. Gnarly

Must have used the BIG Bambu to wrap it…

But it works cuz the gift is marijuana.

I remember when Dad tried to save money on cigarettes by rolling his own. When I was older Mom said some of my sister’s friends were rolling their own, she thought they were trying to save money. I think maybe they were smoking something else.

Maybe the good stuff’s in the box.

This is just not NORML

Nice going, Cheech.

Aw come on did not know what rolling paper was? Are you Amish?

Mark this package: To Dave…

Mistake, right, winkwink nudgenudge, know what I mean, know what I mean?

The store clerk asked, or rather demanded of Phineas Phreak “Why do you want rolling papers but no tobacco?!”

Bambu or ZigZag?

As a Boomer, I can say this! Far out Boomer!

What’s in the box, Parnelli?

So, bright eyes, you claim there is a store that carries both rolling papers and gift wrap- and you couldn’t tell the difference? Sounds fishy.

At least he was blunt about it.

Would have been really annoying if he had gotten rapping paper.
