Ohhh, this needs further explanation. On the forums there are no stupid questions... well, I guess some people are trying harder than others, but nevermind... I didn't mean on here. When getting out of my truck to get something from the store, another guy smoking his pipe in the parking lot ran up to me and asked... "what kind of pipes do you smoke?"
Now, I know that some of you guys live in places where pipesmokers aren't just everywhere setting on the sidewalk smoking pipes, but here in the land of The Briary, where within a 100 mile radius, pipe smokers are everywhere. So, for you guys who think seeing a pipesmoker in the wild is a fantastic thing, you probably don;t "get this." But, how do you respond to someone running up like you want an autograph or something, wide eyed, and ask something as dumb as "what kind of pipes do you smoke?" Not, "what kind of pipes do you collect?" nor "what is your favorite pipe?" but, "what kind of pipes do you smoke?" It has no simple answer, and it screams... "Talk to me because everyone hates me. I have no friends. I'm a looser."
Now, if he'd have asked, what is your favorite tobacco, I might not mind taking my pipe out of my clench to respond. But, "what kind of pipes do you smoke?" just sounds like an elementary playground conversation starter. "What kind of sport do you like?" "Wanna be friends."
