Mayor Pete and a "Handful'

Yesterday, Mayor Pete came out of one of his presidential campaign talks, and admitted that he'd used marijuana 'a handful of times' long ago....just barely hinting it was in his youth. 

So, what does 'handful' really mean?

Some folks would say more than twice, and less than ten times.  Some folks would say more than five times, but less than twenty times.  And there's some folks who'd go and say it's more than twice but could be less than two-hundred times.

I had a German neighbor once, who was a more-than-a-handful marijuana smoker, and probably smoked an average of five times a day, and had been doing that for a minimum of five years.  The math here, would suggest 9,125 occasions with a 'puff'. 

What I think of Mayor Pete's 'handful'?  I hate to say it, but he seems to be a pretty low-key and low-intense guy, and it's hard to suggest him being even more mellow than what he is already.  He's probably one of those folks who'd drink half-a-beer, smoke a joint and then fall asleep for twelve hours. 

Me worry about the comment?  No.  But this will scare Warren enough that she'll rush out in the next week to admit she smoked a handful as well....along with Bernie, Booker, and Robert Francis.  Only Joe Biden will continue on...saying his body is 'pure'.
