Showing Original Post only (View all)So I took a bunch of vegetables from my garden to the coffee shop this morning [View all]
to share with my friends and neighbors. Although we rarely discuss politics there, I know most of them are Republicans. Not teabagger wingnuts, but on the conservative side of the political spectrum, and mostly elderly people whose company I enjoy.
As I set the large box of zucchini, peppers, squash, okra, etc on the table I told everyone to help themselves. Someone said "You're not charging anything for this stuff?" and I said, no, this is a communist produce stand. It is collectively owned by all here. They all laughed, as did I.
Didn't slow them down from garabbing the stuff, though.
