Hippies Who Aren't Hippies Anymore Are Still Assholes

Ex-hippies tell those damn hippies to get off their lawn:

“I used to be a hippie. I wore beads and grew my hair long,” he said. “But my generation had something these kids do not: a standard of civilized behavior.”

In my day, we didn’t shower and did drugs with class.

And at least Hippies: The New Class are honest:

They’re known as gutter punks…who panhandle with cardboard signs that riff on their lifestyles. “Please Help Us Get Un-Sober,” one reads. Another: “Please Give Us Weed, Beer or Money.”
