He doesn't smoke pot, Bobert. I told you, his chosen recreational drugs are alcohol and tobacco.

1930s? Yeah. He came over on the banana boat in the early 30's, landed in New York, then moved to Chicago by the late 30's. He's one heck of a lively character considering his age! I can't account for it. He says it's due to all the booze and cigars...claims that they promote longevity.

You never know...maybe he made some kind of special deal at "the crossroads". Like Robert Johnson is reputed to have done. He was a contemporary of Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, and Johnny Weismuller, fer Chrissake! They're long gone, but Chongo is still raisin' hell.
