Smoker?

As a kid i used to sneak the odd puff from my dad's cigs when left the room. Hated it!!

Later, he had this smokers' cough that would last for 5 minutes at a time, and when it was over, first thing he would do was light up another.

To: period end of story

You betcha, p. Since 1960, when I was 10 in BSA Summer Camp.

I used to sneak Mom & Dad's packs (in the early 60s; they quit in the early 70s) of Philip Morris filters, in the brown, plastic flip-top pack. At 19¢/pack, I could afford to buy my own, with lawn-mowing monies. Comb my receeding hair(line) back, and I could also buy beer/liquor for my HS parties. I was the *hit* of the school.

Ha!

I graduated to Canadian Export AAAs, and then to Pall Mall (unfiltered), and then/now to Marlboro.

I have a HD "smoker's cough", and the joke around the office is that "coughing is the only exercise I get". way too much time on the computer, doing design, estimating, revisions and billing.

Ha!

(((cough, cough, cough)))
