We Saw It Coming

Sometimes the funniest things just kind of happen, and occasionally you see them coming a mile away. Take, for instance, a baby socking some guy below the belt. That’s funny and you know it’s gonna happen well in advance. It’s like slow motion where you actually groan before contact, then laugh until you pass out. For the record, the guy punched sometimes passes out as well. Speaking of passing out, that’s another hilarious thing you can see coming pretty clearly. It’s a Saturday night and you know the intoxicated person is going to black out, fall into their taco, and roll off the chair ending up prone in their own drool. Part of you even wants to stop it from happening. That part of you loses out to the part of you that scoots away from the landing zone and nudges your friend to watch as a big grin spreads across your face.

Intoxicated taco man is a perfect segue to why I bring this up. They legalized marijuana in Colorado. One could imagine the number of people stuck for hours at a crosswalk waiting for the “Walk” sign only to realize that by the time they started to walk, it had changed to “Don’t Walk” will be staggering, and amusing for café diners. Pizza sales will sky rocket and Girl Scouts should earn some serious coin.

So when I read on the internet that some Girl Scouts had sold 117 boxes of cookies in two hours outside a marijuana shop, I chuckled. But I definitely saw that coming. And in case you’re wondering, like you, I too am a bit perplexed as well as disturbed that we have come to a place in society where humor, Girl Scouts, and marijuana intersect. And we saw it coming.
