Dude gives very honest response to reporter about what he did on the weekend

When honesty isn't quite the best policy.

Let's be honest: We've given different answers to what we did on the weekend, depending on the person.

You especially need to be careful to reporters while on live television, not that a man who appeared on Australia's Today show seemed to care.

Reporter Natalia Cooper was handing out $50 notes to a commuter at a Sydney train station, and as you do, tried to initiate a bit of small talk about what he did on the weekend.

"Punched a few cones," the man responded.

In case if you don't know what "punched a few cones" means, it's another way of saying he smoked some marijuana from a bong over the weekend.

Naturally, Cooper pulled the microphone away from the man and walked away in shock, but not before people on Twitter saw what had just happened.

What's the harm in telling the truth, hey.
