Or alternatively, you could cut the bottom out of a plastic 3-liter soda bottle, make a tin foil screen to go over the top, submerge it in the full kitchen sink, and pull a deep gray, opaque gravity bong hit.
Tbh, I usually didn't remember what happened after the first hit because, even with 5% mexican brick weed this was still a pretty effective method of meeting Jesus on a jet plane.
Something I'd like to mention, money was still mostly cash. I remember when credit cards became a thing. Getting credit and loans was rare. If you didn't have the cash, you didn't get it.
You could actually feel and count what you spent and realize how many hours of work it took to make. Now it's just a fuzzy digital idea of how much youve earned and how much you owe.
Interestingly though... There was still the concept of "bad money, blood money, or filthy lucre." If you thought someone was buying something with money they'd gotten from drugs, or whoring women or hurting people, you had the option of not taking it. Black balling that person and not dealing with them.
Now it's so digital, and there is no concept of dirty money. The goal is get it anywhere and everywhere at all costs, and that's wrong. The morality has gone out of trade and economics. And as crazy as that sounds, yes, there used to be morality in economics.
Certainly more than there is since the start of the new millennium.
The Norse called Saturday "Laugerdagr" which translates to washing day/laundry day. They apparently thought doing the wash was equal to worship of their gods. Which, I don't totally disagree. (Cleanliness is next to godliness)

In English, the days of the week are named for Norse gods (or the pantheon)... All except Saturday.
Sunday... The sun
Monday... The moon
Tuesday... Tew/Tiw, Norse god of war and justice
Wednesday... Wodin (Odin), the all father
Thursday... Thor, God of lightning and thunder
Friday... Freyja, the lady, goddess of love.
Except Saturday. The Norse called Saturday laundry day. Laugerdagr. Great word actually....
But the English wouldn't have it so they went with the roman God Saturn for Saturday.
I've been amazed that these rules (almost laws) have stood up... But human nature, alas.
The golden rule? Idk. If you don't have anything nice to say....
Sir Terry was clever, especially with nomenclature. Lupine Wonse, if taken in its roots... Could mean Lupine- Wolf or Doglike... Wonce- Old Eng. for "once.
Once was a dog/wolf... Or Always will be a dog/wolf.
A good name for a sneaky, controller of people.
And thank you. Your insightfulness is what made me search for the translations/roots of these names and helps me realize how clever Sir Terry actually was, at all turns.
Im old and even i see this as a feeble (possible) a.i. attempt to trigger... something.

The ole wooden dugout with a weed cavity and spring loaded bat (usually looked like a cigarette) dispenser.
Thats some quality paraphernalia. I had mine.
I've heard of cryptocurrency/bit coin and spice road, but real physical money and face to face exchange was a different feel.
Rule #3 Internet is anonymous.
It's the way it is... But it's different.
