If someone were to break into my house, I'd take my combat shotgun and turn their face into a crescent moon... With The Reds

Guy: Why is my orange this weird color, I guess it should be called a red.

Street-name for secanol--a barbituate/downer. Secanols are called reds because 1) it's easier to say than secanol when you're jaw is too numb to work and 2) the pills are lipstick-red.
We should all take a lesson from Jimi Hendrix--Never mix reds with whiskey and then choke on your own vomit.
