18. Just then a police man stepped up to us said "Please, hey whoopie cat.."

Sep 2012

From Misty Mountain Hop by Led Zeppelin.

It's actually "Please hey, would we care...to all get in line, get in line..."

We were so sure it was Whoopie Cat, we named our cat that.

TO be fair, though, I discovered Led Zep and weed at exactly the same time - so the first million times I heard MMH I was hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh as fuck...
