Second of all you need to know why I said that. Something you would never know if I had chosen not to tell you about him is this. He was a lifelong employee who worked for a Natural Gas Company! He was a supervisor and was always being called out for one thing or another and I can relate on at least two occasions when If I had not gone out with him that in the rush and confusion and the stress of the moment he nearly walked into a Engine Room with a lighted cigarette in his hand. This is why I was so concerned with his smoking. He was a good and careing man alright but very careless at times. Instances such as this cannot be minimized. Working under stress can cause even the most dedicated and well trained people to make mistakes. The good Lord was with him and so was I on those occasions! Now as Paul Harvey says now you know the rest of the story!

How did he get to be a supervisor if he was as bumbling and careless as you depict him?

Your hostility to your father is palpable, and you seem to have transferred this to smokers in general.
