"I looked down and saw a bottle with two pills," Comer said. "I thought, 'Well, I have a headache, and there's two Excedrin."

She sounds like a dingbat. But good for her for smoking, and living, and all that.

Digging a little deeper...

She went outside to smoke. Why?

It is my guess that the smoking nazis made her feel guilty for smoking indoors. She, like me, probably was forced outdoors to smoke. She then, like me, learned to enjoy smoking outdoors.

Smoking saved her life and the smoking nazis helped.

Maybe. Although I stopped smoking in my house before the Wehrmacht Nannies goose-stepped in. I don’t like stale smoke and it was turning my walls brown.

The family’s insurance agent said they could not live there after the tree cut the kitchen and living room in half, scattering the contents of the kitchen cabinets.

“I looked down and saw a bottle with two pills,” Comer said. “I thought, ‘Well, I have a headache, and there’s two Excedrin.”’

ROTFLMAO!
