but thats the thing I didn't mess it up. Its like replacing someones CD because you accidently got a little scratch on so everytime you play track 4 for at least ten seconds it skips or something. In fact that situation would be worse because its permanent damage. The bong would have worked 100 percent exactly as if it never broke in the first place. If I had time I probably would have just glued it myself and not even told him because that way he nor anyone else would have even found out. I mean I just don't see the sense in paying 80 dollars for something that would cost 3 dollars to repair and work exactly the same way. Btw this is something that happened years ago I was just reflecting on it and thinking how dumb my friend was for being so anal about it. I've broken things that I borrowed from people before and everytime I did I always replaced it but this is one of those rare exceptions where its neither black or white but rather in the grayish area. If it needed to be replaced I would have replaced it regardless of my income but under absolutely no doubt did it need to.
