The first
apartment I rented after joining the Navy was in Chula Vista and it was a 1
bedroom apartment located on Madison Avenue just off of D Street in Chula
Vista.
The big
comedy thing during that time, which was 1973 to 1974, was Cheech & Chong.
One of their famous skits was when they were sitting around their home when
they hear a knock on the door and the persons banging on the door claimed they
were the police. So the other members in the house flush all their drugs down
the toilet. Then when they open the door it turns out to be their friend asking
HEY MAN DO YOU HAVE ANY DOPE? By the time they go into the bathroom all their
drugs are gone. It was a cruel joke but a funny comedy skit.
On this
evening four of us were in my apartment when we heard pounding on the door of
the apartment. We heard OPEN UP! THIS IS THE POLICE! We freaked out so my
friend gathered all the drugs and he ran into the bathroom. We told him if it
really is the police we will give him a signal and he is to flush the dope down
the toilet.
The rest of
us sprayed air freshener around the apartment and then calmly went to the door
as if the police wouldn’t know we were doing drugs.
When we
opened the door it was my ship-mate from the Navy, Regan Raleay and he said, in
his best Tommy Chong doper voice: HEY
MAN DOYOU HAVE ANY DOPE?
We were so
relieved it wasn’t the police so we invited him in. He asked us again if we had
any dope and we all realized our friend probably flushed it down the toilet. We
ran into the bathroom but fortunately he didn’t flush anything so we spent the
rest of the evening inhaling the dope we had.
