Some People

Earlier today at work I mentioned that "I needed a pipe", being that I live in a drug infested town I expected her to ask if it was weed. However she seemed confused by the concept of smoking tobacco out of a pipe. She then proceeded to ask why I don't just smoke cigs because "they're the same thing right'? Anyway, just thought I'd share this because I thought it was kinda funny.

I hope you told her many many reasons why they are NOT the same eh?

It's kinda funny that a little more than one month ago I kinda thought the same thing( about it being the same as cigs.). Boy I'm sure glad I looked into pipe smoking. I am now cigarette free and loving the pipe.

 

[logandow]

Of course I did Spartan

I go to yardsales every weekend. I have not had one day, all summer so far, that someone didn't comment "I love the smell of your pipe" or "I haven't seen anyone smoke one of those in years."

What exactly is the difference? Is it because of all the additives in cigarette tobacco, or maybe because it's cheap nasty tobacco, or because you're also burning a little piece of paper, or some combination?
I'm pretty sure I understand the difference between Kentucky Deluxe and Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit...or a Yugo and a Rolls.

Heres a good one for you: Was doing laundry the other night, had a bowl of Butternut Burley going. You have to walk out our front door and walk about 20 feet to get to the laundry room. Since all the other a-holes around us smoke their cigs in the laundry room, I don't feel guilty about taking my pipe in there. So I walk out to go throw a load in the dryer, and the people four doors down are fighting so loud that I can hear them, and I started to think that the little girl who lives in the apartment got caught in the crossfire of their fight. Me being a concerned citizen, I called the cops, then continued with the laundry. When it came time to do the next load, I walked out, my bowl of Butternut Burley almost finished, and the cop was dragging the drunk dude out of the apartment down the way in handcuffs. The guy was kicking and screaming and generally being a dick, and I tried to not to look his way. Turns out, the cop that arrested him was my old neighbor, and he used to smoke a cigar with me every now and then. So drunk dude sees my pipe and starts blurting out, "Why don't you arrest him? He's out here smoking weed and you're not gonna do anything about it?" The cop and I looked at each other, started laughing, and the cop told the guy, "That's not weed, you're still drunk, and he isn't fighting with his girlfriend." Some people... :?

Hey Eric! Very funny story dude. Haven't seen you around for awhile, then again, my schedule changed a bit so hours on here have been a bit more "normal."
