Heard of Ass Pennies? Same idea here, I tea bag everything I put in the fridge. Just sayin. 2. If you put food in the fridge, I will eat it. I don't care if you tea bag your food too, I will eat it. Not because I'm stoned, but because I like food, and you are a douchebag. 3. If I am stoned when I eat your food, it just makes it funnier. 4. Remember that time when I told you pot wouldn't lead to harder drugs? Well, I was really stoned. I meant it wouldn't lead ME to harder drugs. For douchebags like you, hard drugs were gonna happen sooner or later anyway. 5. That wasn't pot I let you smoke that one time, it was tea, and yes, I tea bagged that too. 6. I fucked your sister when she came to visit you in college. Now, what was that shit about carrot cake you were gonna tell me? Fridge Rules at College:
