'Turn Yourself In Day'
The patrons of the Woody Creek Tavern outside of Aspen have been finding new things to occupy them since Hunter Thompson's passing. One idea they've come up with: Turn Yourself In Day.
In the spirit of worthy projects, my friend Coyote called the other morning with a scheme to honor the fallen. He called it "Turn Yourself in Day" and it went something like this. On a specific day and time every pot-smoker in America would head down to the nearest police station and turn him or herself in (signed, notarized confession optional). Admitted drug felons all, these umpteen millions of people would create an unprecedented logjam. Forget the obvious cop-shops and municipal buildings - every aspect of American civilization and culture would come to a screeching halt because of the vast numbers of quiet pot-smokers. Hospitals, schools, banks and head shops would shut down for lack of employees, armies would stop marching, racers would stop running. Businesses would have no customers, no employees. The Republican nightmare come true, their worst fears confirmed.
It might even reach beyond America:
