hey rob reiner! why don't you "butt out!"

she said it was the one thing she did for herself
and i muttered something about easier ways to commit suicide.

“look, that man has a birth defect…
he has a butt growing out of his hand!”


thin gray swirls contort otherwise
pleasant faces that refuse to drop the issue
breaking into cacophonous coughing,
a not too subtle suggestion to extinguish.


“you’re gonna die.”


so are you.

I love the passive-aggressive cough fit. It actually makes me want to take up smoking. Like Little Kim rapped, "lighters up!"

I'm assuming the anti-smoking backlash you were expecting has started already?

yes, and it only makes me want to light up even more. *sings, "just push the button..."*
