Funniest shit of my life? hell yeah.
So today I was sitting at a bus stop to meet the Tara. A nice old 70 year old grandma-like lady starting talking to me, asking about the bus and shit. Real "Me and Barbara Stanwick used to ride the TROLLEY" type. Wearing a matching knit sweater and hat with gloves. She's talking about her children, grandchildren, how her brother is in charge of helping the economy in Tonga. She took the bus to Santa Monica from the Palisades to get a flu shot at Walgreens because her Palisadian women's club wasn't offering it until November 23rd, and she'd probably have the flu by then.
And then out of no where she asked, "Have you ever smoked marijuana?"
If I had been drinking something, I would have spit it all over the fucking street.
I said "I tried it a few times with my friends," trying to not sound like some sort of bastard child.
She continues, "My son just got me a prescription for medicinal marijuana for my arthritis, and I have to tell you, it's some of the best stuff on the planet." I'm laughing so hard on the inside, but too shocked to show it. Like, we had been making old people small talk for a good 5 minutes before she sprung this on me.
Anyway, this old crotchety black man walks over, all shaking with a cane and shit. He sits on the bench on the other side of me, and hears her talking about weed. All of a sudden he mentions that he used to smoke it when he was younger, but had recently also had it prescribed for some of his old black guy problems.
So basically I'm sitting between two 70-year old stoners, discussing their favorite strains (they are both fans of OG kush), and how they like to prepare it and shit for a good 5 minutes or so. The lady likes to eat it in brownies and cookies, and the old man likes to pass the blunt with his son and brother. Both liked listening to jazz and watching silent films while under the influence.
The second I was out of their sight, I literally collapsed laughing.
