I initially misread the quote, thought it said Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Which, last I knew, is in the heart of Amish country. Set me going for a minute, trying to imagine an Amish bong...

Hmm. If anyone can make an bong from scratch, it would be the Amish.

lyle, man, that's funny. and
dana you have an excellent point. Now I have images of long beards and homemade bongs out in the countryside. Marijuana is, after all, a plant of the earth.
