Why to not let someone pack your Messenger Bag
I was hanging out at a friends house and one thing leads to another and we decided to smoke a little. I tell him to grab some from my bag, he does, gets what he needs and puts it back in my bag.
On the way home I stop by the grocery store to grab some hummus and bread. I go to lock up my bike, swinging my baileyworks superpro to my side, I grab my U-lock out of the front billow pocket where I keep it. Well apparently that is where my friend decided to put back my stuff. The action of pulling the lock out sends my stuff flying through the air in slow-mo like it was a friggin movie. My bowl shattered right at the entrance of the grocery store will all the people around...I left pretty quick.
Don't let your friends pack your bag, or don't smoke. The latter is probably the better advice.

who the hell rides with a glass pipe?
I can't even keep them around the house without breaking them, let alone travel with them.

Why I always just rolled joints, back in the day. Or rolled the tobacco out of a cigarette, filled the resulting tube with shake, and packed in a centimeter or so of the tobacco at the end with a pencil eraser. Suitable for travel, and all you have to do is rip off the filter...insta-bone!
But pot is for sucks.

This is one of the many reasons you should never go outside when you're stoned.
Bikes are bad, m'kay?
[EDIT] Unless you're at Glastonbury, or some inferior other festival. Roll on summer
