"SMOKE EM IF YA GOT EM"

" Not so fast KIMO SABE "

Wait a sec. Let me get this straight. The Iceman can go buy smokes just about anywhere, buutt ....., you just can’t smoke no where??????????????? What’s up with that?

You can suck on those Cancer sticks anywhere you want ....... outside. You’ll get so used to being out in the rain, snow, cold and heat that you’ll probably be able to apply for a mailman’s job. The only problem there is, now and then they tend to shoot a bunch of coworkers.

Why dontcha make it illegal to grow tobacco? That way, all these addicts will either switch to Grass, now that you want to legalize it, or be nicotine free.

Nope. Can’t do it. Lose too many bucks. Ya know we busted that whole bunch of Marlboro men and Joe Camel people. Got billions. The feds got a chunk, the states got a hefty bite, ..... and the lawyers .... God only knows their take .... nobody else does. Even the Health Insurance companies cashed in big time. Problem is, sure we got a hundred billion or so at first, but the mother load is being paid out over about twenty years.

What’s that got to do with growin this crap?

We figured, as long as we have to wait on the payout, we got a good excuse to knock your (Beepers) off with outrageous taxes and nobody will say a (Bleeping) word.

Where’s all these billions going?

TRUST ME. It’s all going for a good cause. Maybe somebody’s election campaign fund or a fleet of Mercedes. Whatever.

Oh. For a minute there, I thought this was just another line of bull(Bleep).
