The number of "medical" marijuana shoppes in Denver was staggering.

Had I stayed longer, no doubt I'd have contracted an ailment that required getting wasted. Now I wouldn't even need an ailment. Progress!

Men's fashions were different then. Long hair and high heels were ok. Washington would have clicked the ruby slippers together and the Oopo-Loopas would have used their blow darts to down the flying monkeys.

If the monkeys flew out of his butt singing Kumbahyah, then they could definitely have put down the American rebellion too.

After that the golden cap is useless to its current owner, and the monkeys are free to do as they please. The colonists would know this, and act accordingly.
