We lost a toilet tank lid in the remodel we’re doing. Did you know there’s a “[cheaptoilettanklids.com](http://cheaptoilettanklids.com)?”

Good-we found the lid under some paint cans.

Man, they have you by the hair when you’re missing one of them

Good: When I went shopping today, I found out that Medical marijuana in California is less expensive than recreational, even though it’s sold at the same place, as long as you got your certificate. Non medical users pay a 10% surcharge, where I go anyway, and a 30% :eek: sales tax.

Bad: Medical users have a new 15% sales tax.

Damn. California is going to make a ton of money.
