The Great Debate

There is an object that is frequently used in some communities as a symbol of hospitality, to welcome people.







Last night, at 1 am, in the parking lot of Nick-a-Nees, I overheard part of a discussion about what that object is. I thought both sides made interesting points, so I thought I'd see what you all thought.

What is that thing, anyway?

It's a goddamn pineapple.
