You know those adorable little cloth covers that diseased smokers put on the little oxygen tanks they carry or tow that pumps air through those plastic pipes into their failing lungs? There are some really attractive ones in the NYC jail system (especially the Women's House of Detention in the West Village). I'll bet that is where the money went.

Of course, maybe it was just used to bury the jail paupers who die from smoking related deaths. Yeah, that could be it. But, I'm sure that anything involving tobacco and tobacco users is all above board and that there is, as always, a rational answer.

Ok. So let's hear your "rational answer" as to why it's still a legal commodity? Any RATIONAL thoughts on that? Didn't think so.

It's good to see you're continuing your public therapy session.

Any breakthroughs yet?

Epiphanies about embarrassment and shame can be fruitful; looking forward to yours.

Tacky, maybe it is not so much rational, but rather human.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to bring up that old sore spot about you and all the taunting and such during your awkward years, even if they extended into your forties.
