Just found this on Sameer[1]'s site:

"Thank you for Not Smoking -- Cigarette smoking is the residue of your pleasure. It contaminates the air, pollutes my hair and clothes, not to mention my lungs. This takes place without my consent. I have a pleasure, too. I like a beer now and then. The residue of my pleasure is urine. Would you be annoyed if I stood on a chair and pissed on your head and your clothes without your consent?"

I find this funny as hell, but i still decided to poke holes it it. Looks at the lines that mention "residue of pleasure", not if a cigarette smoker's residue of pleasure is "cigarette smoking", shdnt the beer guzzler's residue of pleasure be the actual drinking?

From the other point of view, if the residue of pleasure of the beer drinker is pissing aplenty... shdnt the smoker's residue of pleasure be the smoke coming out of his mouth and nostrils?

Ummm... okie i give up... i got bored... so i poked holes in the joke. Now if you find this extremely funny and u wann make signs to hang in your cubicle at work here's my version:

"Thank you for Not Smoking
Smoke is the residue of your pleasure. It contaminates the air, pollutes my hair and clothes, not to mention my lungs. All this takes place without my consent.

I have pleasure too; I like a beer now and then. The residue of my pleasure is urine. Wouldn't you be annoyed if I stood on a chair and pissed on your head and your clothes without your consent?"

ahh well! ... now that u sed it... i realize that it wasn't perfectly worded... smoke is indeed the residue rather than smoking. But then, I found it too damn funny to realize that. As it is, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed! :)

Hei Sam, it IS too damn funny, perfectly worded or not.

Drinking is not the residue of a beer guzzler's pleasure, as it is not the result of the action, it is part of the action.

You could argue that exhaling smoke would be part of the action of cigarette smoking, however this part is passive and depends on whether the smoking individual regards the smoke itself as one of the comforting effects of smoking.
