3 more one liners if maybe pipes are not for you

[alexnc]

MSO posted a thoughtful and well considered topic that I felt might really help those new to piping. In a kindred spirit I thought I would also post 3 one liners suggesting that maybe pipe smoking just isn't for you.
It may not be for you if:

1 - you routinely get tongue bite by clamping your tongue between your lower teeth and the pipe stem

2 - your pipe gurgles because it really is full of slobber

3 - you think retro-haling involves inserting the stem into your nostril
More words of wisdom, never stop learning

1) After several minutes of pipe smoking, you run around absentmindedly saying, "Is something burning? Is something burning?"

2) You dump live ash in a wastebasket full of paper and lined with a plastic bag.

3) As soon as you light up, you become immediately convinced that you are a renowned philosopher.

4) As soon as you light up, you speak in a foreign accent that you don't have.

5) In conversation, you spend more time packing and puffing, and gesturing with your pipe, than talking.

6)You have lost more than eight pipes at your residence.

7) Your pipe smoke makes your pet gerbil cough.

On another note, did George retire? I keep popping in and it's always the other guy there. I always enjoyed talking to him, hate it if he's gone!
