When I was a little boy, I thought my parents didn't allow me into the head shop because they didn't want me to see all the heads they had for sale. Man, was I disapointed. There wasn't a single head to be found. Just a bunch of bongs and roach clips. Lordy, I haven't even seen a head shop in decades.
