Way back when I lived in Roanoke, VA in the late 80's I worked for a bit for Revco Drugs, which later became CVS Drugs here in the Tri Cities area. It was the Saturday before Easter and I was working until closing that day. We had long since sold out of stuff to make Easter baskets with unless you wanted to fill a basket with newspaper, cold medicine, Boone's Farm wine, and E-Lax, which now that I think about it doesn't sound too bad. Anyway, at about 6 PM a woman came running in the store and asked me if we had any Easter grass left. I looked her straight in the eye and I said, "No ma'am, we've smoked it all." She nodded and then she turned and left. I laughed like a madman after she walked out.
