Pardon Me As I Puke

And so the story goes: Ex- Smokers are thee Worst! You see them everywhere as they act offended and either: Walk faster in disgust or Stop and exasperatingly explain how they stopped, and you should too... Excuse me, I was actually trying to enjoy my smoke.. Are usually my thoughts on the whole deal But to take it one step further, I invited an Ex- Smoker over to hang out with me: Dominos Pizza, sure why not... Extra garlic buttter, no problemo! As he sat saturating each slice and quite precise at not leaving a dry morsel We watched T.V. and talked and that was nice He looked at me quite stirred of emotion and said these words: I would kiss you but it's the smoke, I can't handle it... Oh, OK (thinking to myself as I lit up) Oh how I enjoy you that much more my little cigarette.. as I blew the smoke away sitting on the patio A bit courteous was I, and if you've ever heard the saying, I got screwed and didn't even get a kiss, that much played out as the night went on and on and on. They next morning he rolled over and smiled sweetly but the breath coming out from his mouth as he spoke was quite vile, like a varment had crawled in his mouth in the middle of the night, and Died!! As I acted like I was sleepy, and rolled over away from the fragrance of rotten pepperoni, and fuming with slightly aged garlic.... The lesson in all of this is: Take a self check when giving advice. Look for signs that your opinion even slightly matters to the one you are voicing it to. and mostly... If Smoking BOTHERS You, STAY OUT OF MY AIR! Please....

I Found Myself Gagging A Tad Bit While Reading This Promotions Ad For Marlboro Or Camels Maybe Kools Perhaps, Dear Precious Lucinda Price ? That, Being A Smoker Myself I Might Add But Yes, Nothing Like A Bout With Bad Breath Be It Here Or Be It There ? Smile, And I Thought That Your Loving Heart Were Still A Virgin ? Hmmm, Maybe I Was Thinking Of Little Lucinda And `Thank You` For Your Lovely Visit; Stay Cool ~ Love, John

Hi, Cindy Lu. Most of my original poetry was written with a half gallon of wine next to my arm, a pack of cigarettes and some Hector Berli0z on the hi-fi.. I have no problems with smokers, give no advice. Good to hear from you. Enjoyed your complaint mucho. Love, daver

Quite a synopsis! I found this to be very entertaining... I wonder if a bottle of mouthwash would come in handy in these situations

I see you said down here that you were just goofing off with this one. Don't know how much of it was true, but it sure was an enjoyable read!! It's still everyone's right to smoke if they please. My only fear is that my daughter in law kept doing it during her pregnancy with our grandson and now is doing it while nursing him. Sure wish she could stop just for a while!!! (I don't nag her about it, but maybe I should?)

Well, that's up to you dear. As for me although smoking isn't quite as glamorous as when I began, I really do enjoy a good cigarette. Thanks for your comment and remarks. Mucho appreciated Andrea.

As a non-smoker, I would never tell a smoker to put it out unless you're like intentionally blowing it in my face. But, even then, I'd walk away or tell them to move elsewhere. As for the "kiss" thing, if I'm hanging with a girl knowing she smokes, and I want to kiss her, I'd just whip out my can of Altoids or spray her w/Febreze and make it happen. =D Great message here!
