Things I want to say about this, that, and the other thing.
Fiction Writer in Poet's Clothing
(1) Filling a pothole should be cheap.
(2) I once got a “good time” promise from a streetwalker in Place Pigalle. (She didn’t deliver.)
(3) Does Santa still smoke a pipe? (They don’t cotton to pipe smoking down south, they call it bowl evil.)
(4) The worst sister shire sauce is made by an ill-tempered female Hobbit. I’m not sure what the best sister in the family does for a living, but she is said to have a pleasant personality. As for the middle sister, she just wanders around Middle Earth in her traveling pants.
(5) Overheard:
Man: “Who are you?”
Grim Reaper: “I’m Deaf.”
Man: “Are you here for me?”
Grim Reaper: “Hear? No, I can’t hear a thing.”
(6) Sarah had a ruff time at work.
(7) That’s an Aldi but goodi.
(8) “Back in my day, when I was your age, I was already much older.” (Benjamin Button)
(9) I found the guy in the corner, and it didn’t even require rapid eye movement.

I quit cold turkey on 2009. That was a long 12 months. Every time I think about smoking I remember what a psychologist friend of mine said – Why don’t you just get a pacifier?

I went from 40 Lucky Stikes a day for 40 years, to an e-cig. Then changed later to a Vape device. I still use that now. It’s not great of course, but it has saved me around £100 a month that I was spending on cigarettes.

Quit. Be amazed what you can do with the extra time. And how much better your clothes smell🤣 I used to stop for a cig once or twice doing the yard. Took me an hour or more. Now I’m out in 20 minutes.

I don’t mind when an American says they are going to “take a baath” but it really grates when they pronounce Bath that way!
