As well as extraordinarily intelligent!I thought being a pipe smoker had to do with being handsome, witty, and charming.

I'm impressed you rat bastards have kept this thread open this long!
Not every man has the privilege of getting old.
There are two people whose opinions I heed. The person who signs my paycheck and the person who shares my bed.

My go to saying is "if God wanted me to listen to you, he would have made you my mother."
And my friends and family know I typically don't even listen to her.
Share the American Heart Association and US Surgeon Generals report on smoking from the early 1960's, that also studied pipe smokers. In the study, the pipe smokers lived several years longer than the non-smokers. Tell them you will miss them those last few years.
Although accurate and true, that study is 60 years old. Just as in medicinal matters I prefer modern medicines and modern procedures, I would prefer that there was a more recent study. What I can say is that I am 47 years old and have smoked a pipe since my mid-20s and my lung studies this year show no evidence of being a smoker, even though I have also smoked cigarettes although never much and i quit years ago
Right. I can call my sisters a pair of nasty c*****, but you can't.
Well, yes, in this case you could and I would agree.

If you dig into and aggregate all the health studies on pipe smokers or cigar smokers there is danger. With both the danger starts showing up in people who fit the old Groucho Marx joke of "...I love my cigar but I take it out of my mouth sometimes". The studies are all lacking on one way they measure number of smokes no mention of chamber size but even if they're smoking a bantam sized pipe or nosewarmer they'd have to mostly be lighting one after another and frankly smoking fast to hit the danger zone. Where as even a semi regular use of cigs can leave noticable health effects (a few over the weekend probably won't kill you, but it will effect your breathing measurably).
you can insult my family all you want. I'll put it this way, after people get to know my family they're shocked that I am a functional human being without a garden of human bones. Now my brother leave him alone he's a bit off but he's a good guy and impressive with a guitar.Family Insults? By the time I get to this point in the thread, I am not sure what the original OP was. However, it's not nice to insult people's families... even if they are weirdos.
Well, if the youngins are the ones asking the question (like my kids or nieces and nephews), the response I like using is:
Damn, you actually pulled you nose up from your phone long enough to notice something in your surroundings? I'm quite impressed, I guess there's hope for you after all.
If it's someone my age or older:
Well, smoking a pipe is for the wisest of folk, but don't feel bad, you may get there eventually.

Getting insulted by a family member can hurt. After all, they are your blood. Maybe not your wife, she's from different parents. That's why she might call you an asshole now and then. And you will have to put her in her place occasionally. So she can call you an asshole again.
Of
I have a whole spiel:
- you know if course that cigarette smokers have a high incidence of lung cancer, right?
- but I bet you actually never read the study where this first came to light, right?
- that's OK, lots of people blindly accept what they're told, without doing they're own research.
- I can send the study to you (I used to keep a copy in my dropbox)
- they immediately dismiss it
- my retort, "well, you can't pick and choose what part of the study your going to believe"
I've just always had a lot of fun with skeptics. They never give in.
That's when I end with: "please, take up the pipe and enjoy those extra years with me."
Of course, you want to omit that part. But, it gets a rise out of the person arguing, every time, and they don't believe it.

Of course you would Warren. Special snowflakes always have a hand raised!
I've got a retired, rather liberal, judge for a younger brother. A very successful older, conservative brother. I'm a rather solid libertarian. We've always been able to argue our positions civilly and treat each other with a certain respect. You asked the question, I responded. No need for name calling. But, you did provide a bit more insight into your personality. Thanks.
Social scientist surveying online comments have a very hard time with sarcasm, throws their results off. I remember reading an article about it, and how frustrated they were, because you still need human intervention to decipher if something is sarcasm or not, which hinders their ability to just search for key words.
