Male announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.
Female announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.
Male announcer: The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a white zone.
Female announcer: No, the white zone is for loading. Now, there is no stopping in a RED zone.
Male announcer: The red zone has always been for loading.
Female announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for unloading.
Male announcer: Look Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again. There's just no stopping in a white zone.
Female announcer: Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.
Male announcer: It's really the only sensible thing to do, if its done safely. Therapeutically there's no danger involved.

I have no personal agenda and no "read between the lines," here. The smoking issue is the sole reason I posted this thread.

I know that, SL.
:O)

It's just that National Public Radio has picked up on a Washington Post hit piece, elaborated slightly and tried to slide it under the radar by inserting the smoking stuff to make it "user friendly".

I am happy to report though, that the new government has now installed ashtrays in the convention center and parliamentarians can now smoke in peace, and maybe try to grapple with some real issues.

Civilians also are allowed to own select-fire weapons.

Maybe it's time to move.

Apparently more freedom in Iraq than here.

You are right!  And I know that I wouldn't want to be sitting in a meeting with several people who smoke, and wanting out of there so they can have a cigarette.  :)

Ever see the movie "Airplane"? The "No smoking in the Green Zone" just reminded me of the bit.
