That may not have been a good idea in my case.
Long time ago I was home in the afternoon lazily sitting on the couch watching TV after eating take out and smoking a joint. I had felt quite pleasant and relaxed, and had muted the commercials to stare at the ceiling. Was forgetting about the TV and becoming absorbed into the folds of plaster in the ceiling, when then the door bell rang.
No way I was getting up to get it, and nobody I knew would be knocking on my door without calling me. The window that overlooks where they would have absolutely must gone through to enter and leave was within reach, and I peeked out. I was a teeny bit paranoid so it became a waiting game, but after about a minute I started to wonder just who would wait that quietly for that long without ringing again? The suspense built for at least another 5 minutes till it rang again. I ignored it and stood utterly transfixed by the walk way. Where the fuck is this person?
It took another 5 minutes at least before I saw the biggest biker girls walking down the path away from me. One blonde girl with a punk hair cut and this black girl with a short fro, both dressed all in black leather, spiked boots, chains from their back pockets (I'm not kidding), and spikes on their shoulders.
That was a bit of a surprise. Waited about a minute and then opened the door to go look around the corner and check them out. That's when the Jehovah's Witness letter fell on the ground. It could not have been there before, and nobody had come up the pathway in the meantime.
Jehovah's Witness Biker Girls. You can't make that up, and I'm still not sure it happened.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

Came for the news, stayed for the soap opera.

Well being stoned you were more susceptible to tapping into shared consciousness so you saw them as they wished they could be ;)

What was the joint laced with?
