This strip revolves around one of my trips to work. My GF, Devan and I spotted a sign warning adults that the slang word for heroin is “cheese”. Seriously! Cheese! How stupid are today’s parents that they have to be physically told this. Unless their children and their friends are some sort of crazy dairy connoisseur, you should know something is up when they tell you that they are going out with their friends to “score some cheese”, or some other insane scenario. The fact the kid would feel he could mention such a topic with or without code words should make you question your parenting skills to begin with… unless you’re listening to your child’s phone conversations… then that’s a whole nother bag of worms there.

In short, cheese is a stupid code word. If the kid was really smart, he’d just tell his parents he was going to the movies, and leave it at that.
