A Lot Of Smoke

“You sure do smoke a lot.”

“True.”

“How many cigarettes a day?”

“About forty.”

“That’s expensive. Let’s see. At eleven dollars a pack, that’s about a hundred and fifty-four dollars a week!”

“That’s about right.”

“How many years have you been smoking?”

“Oh, about twenty five.”

“Do you realize the amount of money you’ve spent?”

“Have a fair idea.”

“See that restaurant across the street. If you hadn’t smoked, it might have been yours!”

“Do you smoke?”

“No.”

“Do you own that restaurant?”

“No.”

“Well, I do.”
