6. That reminds me of the time I invited a bunch of friends

over for a party. I didn't say what the party was about. I had just acquired a used Volkswagen bus. I gathered together a lot of paint and a lot of brushes of all sizes and put it all on a table near the bus. I had food and drink available, and folks brought their own favorite euphoric herbs. When everyone went home, the bus was completely covered with artwork. It wasn't really a hippy bus, but something else altogether. I drove it for about a year, then passed it on to someone else for about what I paid for it.

When you just let people do whatever they want, things happen. Since kids are naturally stoned, wonderful things happen.
