Public Pipe Smoking Observations

Either that or she's got some equally cheap friends in her Mahjong club, Cos'!

Perhaps you misread the situation with vodka lady. She was actually snorting over the choice of tobacco. Perhaps her thoughts were something like:

Cherry vanilla! Bleck! I've told that man to smoke some latakia for how long now? Humph! You just can't get through to some people. Well time to get some vodka to clean pipes for my estate pipe business. Still can't believe I got the Mercedes for the Dunhill Namiki Maki-E Rakucho Limited Edition!

I think that she was thinking... "Don't open this till I get home. Don't open this till I get home. Don't home this till I get open. Don't open home till I get... wait... don't homeless this till I get... Wait... open this late at home till I get... crap... where was I, am I... fuck that aromatic smoking pussy. Don't do something something... let me get a swig of this for the road..."

She might have been finishing whatever she had been snorting in the Mercedes 8O

And in the perfect phrasing of JimInks, she might need to see a psychiatrist.

You're being too nice, seldom. -evyl grin-

To me, when I hear about anyone with vodka, I just think chronic alcoholic. It's not like those people are drinking for flavor. ::

Gotta love the overly concerned citizens out there. Always doing their part to be nosey and butting into others business when they think evil is afoot. :roll:

Well, vodka can be mixed, you know? Much better than other liquours even, since it's 'flavourless'.

No negative responses. I get a lot of questions about the pipes and tobaccos I'm smoking, but more curiosity than anything.

There was a time when I used to be a people person but lack of vodka ruined that for me.

I usually get the "Whatcha got in that pipe? Har har har!"

 

[bnichols23]

"Mulch from the grave I dug last night. Any more questions while you still can?"
Jack, use that & I guarantee you'll be able to smoke in peace. :mrgreen:

I’ve had two people ask to take a photo of me in the past couple of years and it ain’t cuz I’m a looker.

I save my pipes for the house and smoke cigars in public. 8O

More of a relic? 8O
I once said to a former student of mine that I was wanting to have a smoke and he was about to start giving me the anti-smoking crap when I pulled out my pipe: he laughed and said 'nobody uses those anymore!'

I don't smoke much in public except when camping, fishing, hiking, etc. and people seem to avoid me when I'm doing those activities.
Living where marijuana is legal you can't go anywhere without getting a whiff of it at some point. How anyone could confuse it with tobacco is beyond me. That being said, since I grew up in the middle of nowhere, to this day I'll be walking through a garage and into a casino and briefly think to myself "how the hell did a skunk get around here" before I realize...
