Overheard in the eye-doctor's waiting room:
CNN was reporting on a Supreme Court case where a student had been banned from displaying a banner that read "BONG HITS 4 JESUS" outside his school, and the ruling was upheld on the grounds that schools can ban things that are determined to be promoting drugs...
Woman in waiting room: "That's ridiculous! That has nothing to do with drugs! Do they even know what a bong is?!"
Incredibly apropos CNN person: "For those who don't know, a bong is used for smoking marijuana and other substances..."
Woman: "Oh."
CNN drones on...
Woman: "The only bong I know of is that Chinese kind that makes noise when you hit it..."
She remained quite indignant that the poor student's encouragement of making noise for Jesus resulted in his suspension, and in the Supreme Court upholding it.
