stands for.  I have never seen cigarrettes sold except by the pack, didn't
know you could buy singles.  It's a great city.  For those unable to afford
a whole pack at 5 or 7 bucks or whatever they cost these days, one can buy
them on a per-butt basis at an even HIGHER price. You guys have special
bags to carry your dimes
in?? Those are (or at least used to be in my yout' in LA) $10
sandwich-sized plastic bags of marijuana Is that so you don't have to hunt
for them if you have to call the cops in a hurry cause somebody is chasing
you and threatening great bodily harm?  Ordinarily, the bearer of a dime
bags would be reluctant to engage with Law Enforcement Personnel. Ruth, man
