They won’t hang him, they’ll cut him up for parts.

[Rebelbase]

The wait isn’t as bad as being put on the no delivery list.

[Larry Lucido]

Peterman will handle this.

[Rebelbase]

During WWII a japanese general skimming profits from a cigarette factory in china laced the smokes with opium and addicted a large portion of the population.

Asking for a friend of course.

The Chinese were using harmful and addictive psychoactive substances when Britons were running around in animal skins.

As to opium, it replaced the prior witch’s brew (linked above) of literally poisonous substances in the 7th century, long before Brits had even heard of China, let alone traveled there:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_opium_in_China
[Historical accounts suggest that opium first arrived in China during the Tang dynasty (618–907) as part of the merchandise of Arab traders.[11] Later on, Song Dynasty (960–1279) poet and pharmacologist Su Dongpo recorded the use of opium as a medicinal herb: “Daoists often persuade you to drink the jisu water, but even a child can prepare the yingsu[A] soup.”[12]]

[Songcraft]

Are there smoking and non-smoking sections in the restaurant?

[Billthedrill]

Oh, man. First, no more bat soup. Then they take my Pangolin-on-a-stick away. Now the snail powder has to go. I’m gonna starve to death at this rate.

George likes his chicken spicy

[Tunehead54]

On Amazon, no tobacco in modern version but no mention of no opium. ;-)

[trebb]

I’ll buy the first round of noodle soup...
