Haven’t done one of these for a while. Today’s theme: The good ol’ days.
Me: So what does sassafras tea taste like?
Seller: About what you’d expect.
Me: So …boiled bark?

Added: A terrible photo of a typical street-vendor item. I see this stuff everywhere. Every so often I read a column by some earnest doofus, wondering why African Americans don’t vote Republican more often. Really? Really?
