"I think it's time for a revival of dope jokes," says Cheech Marin

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Now that their feud is up in smoke, Cheech and Chong are high on plans to reunite for their first comedy tour in more than 25 years.

Cheech Marin told AP Radio that he and Tommy Chong "looked at each other going, `If we're ever going to do something it has to be now because you're not getting any younger and neither am I."'

They tossed around some ideas and figured a comedy tour would be "the most fun" and "the least hassle," the 62-year-old Marin said.

Marin and Chong, who broke up amid creative differences, have tried to reunite before, but have always fought too much. Marin laughed and said: "It takes about 3 minutes for that to happen. There's this veiled hatred." But he added: "We've kind of resolved that."

"We've gotten to the age where we don't feel like fighting anymore because the end is a lot closer than the beginning," he said.

They were a great team and I had many a laughs listening to them "back in the day".

A week don't go by that I don't reference one of their bits. "Ummm yeah, who cuts your hair."

7. Ha! I'm wearing my "Free Tommy Chong" t-shirt at this very moment.

I wore it into my attorney's office yesterday.

I feel sorry for Ashcroft. What a sorry ass. Having to put Chong in jail just to feel good.

Good for them. I look forward to it. Even if I have stopped smoking in the meantime.
