It's 4/20, Dude


So, I'm selling a car, this morning and my young customer is signing the credit application and pauses to add the date. I told him that it's 4/20 and he starts laughing! Yes, I'm a dinosaur, but I work with people of all ages and I consider myself to be as contemporary as the next guy. Yes, 4/20 (or 4:20) has significance, but here's why: In the spring of 1971 a group of kids at San Raphael High School in California used to gather after school, at 4:20 PM, and smoke marijuana. "Four Twenty" became synonymous with marijuana. Also, the group used to meet near a wall. The became known as the Waldos.
So, now you can light up a fat one, satisfied to know why we call it 4:20, on 4/20.

Wow, man.
