I've been trying to think of an answer all week
And I've finally thought of one I can shoehorn in.

My friend DH decided to hitch hike to Marakesh a few months ago. I don't know why - sunspots or something. When he got back, he told me about his first day there.

Being no stranger to the delights of the local herb, he wasted no time in sampling some. Unfortunately, he didn't pick the most scrupulous of dealers.

He was, in short, drugged out of his skull and forced to buy a carpet.

£70 of carpet that he left by the side of the road.
