George Carlin on Smoking - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

"Even though I don't smoke, I'm not one of those fanatics you run into. In fact, I love watching cigarette smokers in their sad little sealed-off areas, sucking away, deep lines in their faces, precancerous lesions taking hold, the posture and body language of petty criminals. You know what you do with these people? Give 'em free cigarettes. Let 'em smoke."

Glad I'm in the land of the smoke free again.
I don't have to be one of those with the posture and body language of a petty criminal!

That Carlin really had an eye for what is, didn't he? His social commentary is like that of Mark Twain -- sharp, cutting and oh, so true.

Remember, keep the quit and post before you puff!

Shalom!

No, I tried soooo hard to stay up and see it, but, alas...
I fell asleep...
I'm too old for SNL anymore...

I hope it was as funny as my mind remembers him to be!

Shalom!
