      Not only can you buy liquor on Sundays in Massachusetts these days, but they even went and legalized tattoos!

      Come to the Chicagoland. Not only can you buy alcohol on Sundays but you can buy it pretty much wherever you want (gas stations, Walgreens, CVS, etc.).

              Arguably it would be the strongest homeopathic medicine ever made.

                All homeopathic remedies are equally strong with an efficacy of essentially zero, so yes.

                  When I made the joke right after waking up I was imagining just slapping a homeopathic label on regular vodka, but obviously that didn’t translate from what I wrote, lol.

        But you can’t buy a car on Sunday in Chicagoland. Which is weird.

          Ha true. I find it nice though. Then I can walk the lots on Sunday’s casually car shopping without being pestered by a salesman.
