Smoke It Up...

Who knew that candy cigarettes were still being sold?

In a recent drive through Kentucky, Dave and I found and bought (for novelty's sake) a box of the candy. I remembered being a child and thinking that candy cigarettes were sooo cool. The only time I ever got them was if they ended up in my Halloween bag once a year. I'd puff away on the candy until the ends got soggy and then I'd quickly crunch through the rest of the chalky candy.

I was surprised to see the candy cigarettes in the convenient store... I mean, in today's world, with all the political correctness and anti-smoking propoganda out there, who knew you were still allowed to buy children fake cigarettes so they can pick up the habit early?

I have also recently visited a city that is now "non-smoking" in its bars and restaurants. As an ex-smoker, I have always felt that it should be the decision of the establishment as to whether they allow their patrons to smoke or not on the premises. However, it was so nice to go out in the evenings to a crowded bar, not have my eyes burning from the smoke by the end of the night, and wake up in the morning with my hair and clothing reeking of cigarettes.

Two old ladies were outside their nursing home, having a smoke when it started to rain. One of the ladies pulled out a condom, cut off the end, put it over her cigarette and continued smoking.

Lady 1: What's that?

Lady 2: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.

Lady 1: Where did you get it?

Lady 2: You can get them at any drugstore.

The next day ... Lady 1 hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The guy looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but politely asks what brand she prefers.

Lady 1: It doesn't matter as long as it fits a Camel.
