In this video clip from Rick Mercer’s Monday Report, Berton demonstrates how to roll a joint. This clip was shot about a month before he died in 2004 at age 84.
Berton told the Toronto Star, "I enjoy the odd joint but I never go overboard. I smoke about once a month to help me relax."
“And remember Canada, it’s the loose joints that tend to fall apart leaving unsightly toke burns on your chairs or on your bowtie. It’s a tragedy we all want to avoid, don’t we?”
He would have made a great Prime Minister.
ReplyDeleteI predict that Canadians will be able to buy a couple of joints at the Liquor Commission within 10 years...even sooner if the Americans get another Republican President in '08...just to piss him off!
ROLL CA-NA-DA!
HE: Prime Minister Berton. Nah, he was too good to be PM.
ReplyDeleteJoints at the Liquor Commission? Yay! And coming soon to a "Beer Store" near you. Whatever happened to calling it the "Brewer's Retail?" I guess that "Beer Store" is easier to pronounce if you're already drunk.
I use to love weed. I just wish I was eighteen so I could smoke it again. It's not exactly the most responsible thing to do when you are a working mom and married to a cop. LOL
ReplyDeleteMaddie: I didn't know you were back! Missed you. Oh shite, I forgot a cop reads this blog. Tell that lazy arse to post something.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can understand why you need to smoke joints living in Canada.
ReplyDeleteBit like Ireland and drink.
It dulls the pain.
Yay Canada!
ReplyDeleteI can roll single handed while driving a car.
*shuffles out red faced*
Just what I need! How to roll a joint when I don't even smoke weed! I guess it could work for rolling your own cigars too though.
ReplyDeleteSID: Let's get polaxed then, mucker.
ReplyDeleteFrobi: You are one talented mofo.
Awaiting: Just don't take too big a toke on that SEE-gar.
Girl...I have given up on getting him to post anything. He realized how much work it was and then decided it wasn't for him. Typical men. He's knee deep in Fantasy Football so much that I can't even get him to take out the trash.
ReplyDeleteMaddie: Fantasy football? That explains everything. Tell him his blog was fun while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteI saw this was when was originally broadcast! It was a hoot!!!!
ReplyDeleteTeena: Me too. He went out on a "high" note.
ReplyDeletehahaha- i have to do a history project and i chose him, just because of his '40 years of recreational weed smoking.' i didnt know about him, or the smoking. it was hilarious~
ReplyDeleteAnon: Cheers. He was a great Canadian.
