this just made me remember this awkward joke i made once, when i was telling a newish acquaintance about a trip i took in my early 20s to Amsterdam. in reality, i flew there after quitting a job i hated to be part of the magic of legal weed for a week, back before it was decriminalized anywhere in north america. anyway, fast forward 10 years and i'm telling someone about going there and seeing some commuter with a fold up bicycle getting off a train and they ask, "oh why did you go to the netherlands?" and i said, in my typically deadpan style, "for the legal prostitution obviously", which i thought would be recognized as obviously ludicrous because i thought i didn't seem like the type. but i guess i sold it by throwing it away like that. story of my life.
of course, they looked at me blankly, trying to hide disgust. i quickly tried to explain i was joking and just an idiot stoner going to the stoner mecca of the early 2000s, but it took some convincing.
