Maybe he’s just a perfectly average man that kept his marijuana in it. ---

A coupla friends of mine make fishing lures. Most of what they make is panfish jigs no longer than the middle section of your pinky. They make them with rubber band legs, cellophane wings, feathers, copper wire legs on magnet bodies, or whatever you want. Anyway, you pick out what you want, and you take them home in teensy zipper bags, smaller than a credit card. It’s true. Now, we can all imagine nefarious uses for these things, but we don’t have enough information to say for sure. :dubious: ---

Sorry, **bienville** ; I _thought_ I remembered that thread, but I didn’t find it when I searched. If it’s any consolation, I laughed out loud at your “euphamism” post in that thread. A couple things the Missus wanted me to emphasize, or re-emphasize: 1. These baggies are _really really_ small. Like, you-couldn’t fit-your-pinkie-into-it small. Or, you-can’t fit-a-dime-into-it small. Too small for most jewelery or buttons, I would think. Tiny screws or beads would fit, though. 2. The baggies had a white powder residue inside. Probably not left over from jewelery findings or polymer clay. She also mentioned that the house they were in front of looked a little… rugged, shall we say. Yes, I asked her why she was picking shit up off the street from in front of a crack house. She said she really wanted those drawers. ---

If it’s any consolation, I laughed out loud at your “euphamism” post in that thread. No apologies necessary, especially when you continue to tell me that I’m funny 😃 . I enjoyed the opportunity to re-share one of my old Threads! ---

Too small for most jewelery or buttons, I would think. Tiny screws or beads would fit, though. That’s what I kept thinking while reading all the responses, is whether or not the bags were smaller than a fingernail. If so, these bags probably once held crack. ---

That’ll teach you to use those damned metric measurements when you’re trying to 'splain the size of something to us 'mericans! 😃 ---
