'What's all the fuss about!' said the monk upon regaining consciousness? 'I only had 8 Rohypnols with my lunch!'

[Grusa]

I thought monks were supposed not to have material possessions and to walk barefoot everywhere. Got his comeuppance for disrespecting the tenets of his faith, didn't he!

Sure hope they do a purple test for this 'medication'  !

Maybe he hasn't learnt to read medical warning labels in Thai, but only Pali or Sanskrit.
