Do you know what a hookah is?

Two patrons of a local hookah bar were shot the other night and I have to admit that I had never heard of a hookah. Once I giggled it I wondered if I had missed something. Perhaps some of you who experienced a more wild youth than I could tell us your experiences with the hookah...
 

Yes... It's a Turkish water pipe. It's still used to smoke TOBACCO. You can see them in Middle Eastern stores and some Middle Eastern restaurants have rooms where men gather to drink coffee and smoke. I suppose it was repurposed for smoking weed, but it is an ancient thing and that was not it's main intent.
 
Ken. . you've been holding out on me. . . do they have hookah's for one? . . and, one is not always the loneliest number. ;-)

My husband has one that he got as a teenager and he used it to smoke TOBACCO... as he was into all sorts of pipes and tobacco flavors. It makes a pretty neat decoration to set out on an end table or a curio cabinet, however, since neither of us smokes, it's not used.
 
Here is a pic of one of the smoking rooms. We have a restaurant we go to.. It's called Fahtoosh. (Anglicized spelling for pronunciation and is a type of Lebanese salad). They have a room like this what is walled off behind glass. There are always men in there enjoying a smoke and conversation.

I was hoping that you could get into a dreamy state after smoking a little and tell us your experience...

Mine was brought home from the Middle East by my parents and was simply a decorative object. My grandchildren use it sometimes as a makeshift microphone! :D

Ralph... I think you are trying to equate a hookah with some sort of drug paraphernalia.. but that is not true.. It's a TOBACCO pipe.. Not to say that some have not used it for pot, but that is not what it's for.. You are thinking it's a bong.. Here is a bong.

ha ha ha :lofl:good one Pappy!

Everyone must know by now what that is. Walmart may sell them soon, depending on what state you live in. I have one, but it is very very old and used (for tobacco, honest) a souvenir from days gone by, but I can let you have it for super cheap!
