I would venture to say that
these two were displaying a tad too much temeriousness on the job.... not the kind of thing i want to read as i fly off for the first time since 9/11.. if Osama and his henchmen don't get me, a drunken pilot will!

And don't forget the increase in smuggling that will surely occur. It happened in Canada and within less than a year they had rescinded the huge increase they tacked on.
I also foresee a skyrocketing of the number of cigarette thefts that invariably occur following hge tax increases.

Yeah, it's going to be ugly. Instead of knocking over gas stations, they are going to be knocking over cigarette machines.
To: RikaStrom
That's putting it mildly!!!!
It is only about 2 hours from NYC to the Delaware line, and considering you can get a carton cigs for about 25 bucks or less here - I foresee lots of traffic on the Jersey turnpike!!!

Every day we shove and push
To be the first on the short bus
Xsmommy, hobbes and dubs
Wetbars, closets and beer tubs
If you really think you’re strong
Maybe you can ride along
I don’t want to cause no fuss
But here it is – the new Short Bus!
Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS
Bet you things don’t get too far
Before camle’s got a new cigar
Argh is running for his life
From ending up with the ex-wife
Gabz is getting far from fat
Swimming round in the beer vat
There’se no rules, and there’s no muss
Ridin’ on this here Short Bus
Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS
Singing:
WotsamoddaU hey,
Gotta no respect, whatta you think you do,
Why you looka so sad?
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,
Ah, Shaddap You Face.
