Thread: What is WRONG with You Guys????

kinda sounds like we need to spur off on a tobacco thread in the off topic.

Don

My standard reply to people who ask questions like that is:

"Because I want to. Why do you ask?"

This of course is a polite way of saying "What business is it of yours?" I have never felt the need to explain myself to strangers, or even casual aquantences.

Geez, I gave up tobacco completely about 8 months ago and you guys are making it really really hard to stick to it.

Don't do it! I quit... really quit and was super pleased with myself. Then, in a moment of weakness I broke down and had a cigarette... I might as well have just bought a carton. Now I have to find it in me to quit again and that was the hardest thing I had ever done. The day I gave in and bummed a smoke was one of the lowest points in my life... be strong!

+1 on this toolarts, dont do it. I'll agree the *smell* of pipe smoke makes me nostalgic- my late grandpa used to smoke a pipe, thats why I have such fond memories.

But there is nothing macho about killing yourself!

Out of interest if I may ask, what was your motivation for quitting 8 months ago?

EDIT: In fact I should also say a HUGE congratulations on going 8 months without a smoke. A VERY hard thing to do!!!

LOL..People just don't understand about straight shaving! I told my stepfather I bought a couple of str8s and was shaving with them. He got all upset and offered to buy me a bunch of "fusion" dosposable razors. He said if he doesn't hear from me for awhile, he'll know what happened. He'll just figure I slipped and cut my throat! Then he got into this long discussion about my will, burial policy, etc.
After all that he informs me that his penis pump operation is scheduled later this month. The guy is going under the knife to have a "erectile pump" put into his body and he's 81 years old! And he thinks I'm doing the life threatening stuff shaving with a straight razor!

I'm sure it's possible for straight razor shaving to save YOU money but it's pretty clear there is very little chance that it will save me money.

I'm having far too much fun playing with razors blades.
I may have to start playing with matches soon.
