The Eyes Of A Spectator

It starts with me on the computer, and my father just comes in, asking me "Bijan do you know where I can get a Bong or something?"

I then reply with laughter, and I didn't really know if he was being serious. Naturally, I'm not a smoker, and I don't really know where to get one, but I looked it up online, and saw this place called Daze. I then call up the place, and ask them "Hi, do you have Bongs?", and they just say no, and hang up on me.

Then after that happens, my dad and I, just go out for a drive, to spend some time together. So when we're going back home, I told my dad, "We're going to be passing Daze, if you want to stop by and check it out."

So we go into the place, and there's Bongs and Pipes and Cannabis Chocolate Bars, and Incense, and Grateful Dead stuff. This is a really big stoner place. And there were a couple people in there, who just looked like stoners, and they wanted to buy a small pipe.

Anyway, my dad is looking around in awe of everything he's seeing. I kept telling him before, it's illegal to sell bongs, and they call them something else to get around the law, and that I forgot what they call them. He doesn't understand why, so I tell him, because Bongs are used for smoking marijuana, and they can be used for tobacco, but no one does that.

Well, when we look around we find out they are called Water Pipes, and that if you even say any of the terms that related to illegal activities, like Bong, Marijuana, or anything of that thing, they kick you out, and you can't joke about it at all.

So my dad is looking at all the Bongs in the store, and he's amazed at all the stuff he sees. After 10 minutes of him looking at bongs, and me looking around in the store, he purchases an 80 dollar bong.

He told me his friend wanted one, I believed him, because my dad wouldn't smoke, but it's really funny, and I thought I'd share this story.
