That is every bit as dumb as someone saying "no, I wasn't buying drugs! I only traded money for a hug, then got an eight ball for free!"

This is how you buy weed in DC...

Edit: No seriously, look it up. You can't legally sell weed in DC the but you can possess. So the shops sell you $70 socks and then gift you devil's lettuce.

There was that King of the Hill episode with the failing bookstore converted to a gun store, didn't have a license to actually sell guns so they started saying something like "Free gun with $600 book purchase" or something along those lines which I assume would be illegal real world, but worked in show

I remember banks giving away hunting rifles ~~when you open an account with a certain minimum balance~~ as interest on a CD.

I bought my girlfriend's train tickets to see me because she was broke. Am I a pimp?

Edit: I dunno. I had the wrong words.
