Remembering Srila Prabhupada

Below is an anecdote that illustrates Srila Prabhupada's astute sense of humour.

Gohita Dasa remembers: It was San Francisco Ratha Yatra. An infamous man came to the prasadam distribution at Laguna Beach and he handed $30,000 cash to Srila Prabhupada, in $500 and $100 notes.
Srila Prabhupada actually knew how the man got the money so he jokingly asked, "So, how did you get that much money?"
The man replied, "I sell drugs Srila Prabhupada!"
Srila Prabhupada responded, "Oh I used to sell drugs too! For what pharmacy do you work for?"
