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.”
