Whenever he found somebody sitting on one of the park benches who looked particularly alone and forlorn, he used to say: "You look like you could use a cookie," and reach into his bag and hand out one. After the first or second bite, he would admonish the recipient: "Now, don't go anywhere for the next several hours."
Turns out the cookies were laced with LSD.
I've often wondered whatever became of "the Cookie Man."
Ridiculously funny and bizarre at the same time...
BTW, it's 'Lederhose'...Leder is leather and Hose is pants or shorts in this case.
