Dave, I think you should send a pipe to peck. People here don't realize that he only has one pipe and all of those pipes that he shows us are just a figment of his imagination. He really isn't a lawyer but a guy who weighs in at over 600 lbs and cannot leave his house. I told him I would never let on about his true identity but I figured he should get one of these free pipes.
Here is a pic of peck that he sent me recently.

You guys are too funny, id love a free pipe sir. normal reaction...pecks reaction. HULK WANT PIPE NOWWWWWWWW!!!
Let me regale you with an incident that happened this week: There's this young kid, 25 (I later looked him up on the net) who did some minor handy work around the house, but he had a problem--he never showed up when he was supposed to. He simply became undependable, and his excuses were pathetic, like, "I have to take my girlfriend to work--I have to go to the gym". Finally, when we hired someone to cut our grass, he called and said he was coming over to do the same thing. When I tried--I never got through the sentence--to tell him we got someone else to handle our lawn, he screamed at me, "Eat my s**t! You can go f**k yourself!" , then hung up.
I looked at the phone amazed. I am not accustomed to be spoken to in such a manner or screamed at, even when I was a teacher. But what astounded me is the ease at which this child used such expressions to a man deserving, I think, of some respect. It was clear this kid had not concept of mutual respect or gentlemanly behavior. I was unnerved enough by this rant that I called the police to find out if this kid was a criminal and checked the net for info. All it would reveal was his age, and his picture on Facebook: A picture of him without his shirt, showing off his muscles and body, as if to attract someone for sex, like certain politicians of recent note.
I relate this because later I would read in the forum about another senseless act of kindness,
, by one of our brothers like the above. This settled me and reassured me that decency and goodness are still in the world. The acts of such gentlemen and ladies extend far beyond gift-giving, and I thought this should be expressed.
Oh, and the kid--I'd bet my bottom dollar he doesn't smoke a pipe. Not, in any case, a pipe for tobacco.

Thanks for sharing Fred, as for the jokes, though I appreciate Peck's and Harris' humor I would like to keep this and the Free Pipe Project thread focused on what we are trying to do. I don't have to do this, and it is going to take hours and hours to restore all of these pipes and package them up and ship them out. Many of our fine brothers have selflessly given up pipes and tobacco to the cause. The cause of helping out the new pipe smoker serves us all. So instead of making fun how about a contribution. Simonpratt is offering up pounds of tobacco to be sent out to new smokers but needs help with shipping money. Anyone able to help? I don't have lots of extra funds, what I've got is time and a butt load of pipe cleaners. I plan to send out a couple of pipes to each of the new guys in need and some tobacco any help is appreciated.
Someone or someones has/have donated the shipping. The amount of tobacco I can send is limited only by the size of the two cardboard boxes I have left. It will be whatever I can fit in two 9"x5"x5" boxes. If I run out of baggies, some of it may arrive in origami paper baggies (not kidding!). Thank you to everyone who has contibuted to this, and to shain for giving his time, which he ain't going to get back.
I have two pipes, a cheap church warden and a Dr. Grabow, although the church warden , regretfully, is headed for the trashcan. Some kind of incredibly horrible taste has taken up residence inside it. And any gift of a pipe and/or tobacco would be much cherished and appreciated. Thank you sincerely, Stephen the werebear.
