"I was reading in the paper that Lee Brown, who is the head of the White
House national drug control policy, has asked Adidas to change the name of
their athletic shoe, the Hemp, because 'hemp' is street slang for marijuana.
I read this story as I was drinking a Coke, munching some Sugar Smacks and
watching a video of the movie 'Speed' and I thought, 'Boy, nothing gets past
this guy!'"
