history of THE BONG

waterhurley · #1 (**permalink**) 02-21-2006, 06:22 PM

the waterpipe, or better known as the bong, has been around for many generations. they can be found in backgrounds to some of the older movies from the 60's era. but the bong dates back to the early 1900's. undoutibly it was a stoner who thought of this new idea. his name was willam g. fard and was a typical middle class american. one day as he smoked a marijuana cigarette he thought to himself, "woah... if i like take this smoke and put it though water before it gets to my lungs, thatd be cool!" little did little billy know, it was auctauly an excelent idea. it would be filtering more then 95% of the harmful carcinogens involved with smoking cannabis. so one day he invented the first waterpipe that was made out of an old coke bottle, and a pen. see, back then coke bottles were glass with steel caps. pens were steel but had to be filled with indullible ink. so he took a brand new pen, drilled a hole though the side, stuck the pen through, then put a whol in the cap and turn it upside down. after toking out of his now found invention he started making sounds with his mouth. after a few tries, he eventually get stuck on this one that kept going "bong bong bong" like the sound of a ping-pong ball being hit. then his friend point at the bottle. after a while it caught on and was known as "the bong." and to this day tokers still use the bong. we all thank little billy for finding that bongs were cool, and for making the hits a bit less hars but a bit more powerful. no we dont have to inhalve all that tar!

The theory states that thousands of years ago Asian explorers took their smoking systems with them on their long travels and left their bongs at Ottoman trading places.

Cool history though!
