Today's Joke

Brought to you by last week's Brown/RISD College Hill Independent:

In an article recently published the Independent wrote about Mexico's recent decriminalization of drugs for personal use. This makes sense, it's a hot topic. But the part that was funny was this excerpt:

"It is now illegal to send someone to jail for the possession of 2 grams of marijuana (about three joints) or half a gram of cocaine (about four lines)."

I love that, because your readers are at a college institution you assume that they need grams to be illustrated in a college friendly vernacular. You would think someone that made it into an Ivy League institution may have been introduced to this unit of metric measurement before?
