you have to be slick with it. stories like those, where the average lawbreaker pulls one over Joe Lawman always make me smile
anyone ever been solicited for heroin in real life? I did last night, and it was really awkward. I was drinking at a bar in the University District (I pretty much live a couple blocks away from the biggest college in the world), so you know it wasn't like an East Side grimey bar
it's about last call, and for some reason I'm the only one at my table. this skinny looking, younger, college kid walks by and he's wearing a Bone Thugs shirt. so I give him props all like "that's a great shirt" drunkenly. the dude intensely disregards what I said and leans in with a sketchy voice and says "yeah but can you get anything? anything good?"
initially I don't know what to think about it. he could be a cop, but just doesn't seem like it and I decide I'll play along and maybe make a quick buck (my house is across the street). might be a stupid decision, but I'm drunk. shit happens
"yeah, but I just got rid of the Last of the Mohicans, when it comes to the kind bud. how much would you want?" he shakes his head and says "no I'm trying to look for something else." I'm basically saying ok ok ok, what would you want I can probably find it for you?"
after some awkward prodding he finally leans in and says "I need some black tar." for some reason, I start drunkenly cracking up and with a big smile on my face I say "you probably just asked the only guy in this bar who wouldn't smack you just for asking that question."
I don't think the kid understood my point, and maybe he thought I meant that I was going to slap him. after he gets over being awkwardly offended, he starts telling me how he's from Tennessee and it's impossible to get over there. knowing a couple Tenn H users from this sub-forum alone, I tell him it's there. "not in Chatanooga it ain't" he says with a pissed off look
anyways, I'm trying to get this conversation moving, cuz this guy is getting too weird. he asks me how much I can get a point. of course, I can't price here but my fellow tar heels know how much a point or "one balloon" roughly is. I tell him, and he instantly is offended!
petulantly, he answers "that's bullshit! I know you can get it cheaper"
"nope. you can pretty much ask anybody who does it around here that that is the standard price. but what do you know, you can't even get it?"
he starts like squirming around and shouting back at me "no no no. I don't want your number (I never asked him to take down my number). I think I'll just pass, and that way I won't ruin my life!"
at this point I just face palmed and let him walk away. was a very surreal experience. I don't get solicited for hard drugs much, because like most of you we don't look too gutter (hell we have computers after all)
sorry about the long story, hopefully one of you finds it funny. this is just something you can't tell most of your IRL friends, I just had to get this awkward convo off my chest
