"Did Althouse ask permission before taking this picture and, if so, what did the man behind the counter say?"

I polled this morning at 10, along with my photos of the Madison smoke shop. As of right now, these are the poll results:




1. The right answer is "Yes, and he said 'Yes, and thanks for asking,'" which is the most courteous and old fashioned combination.

2. The plurality thought that's how people talk to each other in a place like that these days.

3. The second most popular answer is the other nice answer, and if you put the top 2 together, you see 69% of the respondents guessing that that the interaction was pleasant.

4. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Why did Althouse write "Put that in your pipe and smoke it"? (Multiple answers permitted.)
