Perhaps I'm just imagining things. <BR/><BR/>Ms. Daisy, <BR/>Heh, you doubt my abilities? My dedication? In Punjab, the farmers often hang a sheesha/hooka around themselves while working in the fields. I'm not sure how they keep the coals from falling, but I was seriously tempted to get one of the 24/7 smoking apparatuses. <BR/><BR/>And if I was willing to lose a job at a IP law firm in SF partly because of my smoking, scowls wont be an issue.quasimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045568121156864937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18764915.post-1138031034883392852006-01-23T20:13:00.000+04:302006-01-23T20:13:00.000+04:30I regret to inform you that it is not physically p...I regret to inform you that it is not physically possible for you to smoke more than you already do. This is why you should come back to California, where smoking is frowned upon and smokers are shunned (or at least scowled at).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18764915.post-1138006935992240892006-01-23T13:32:00.000+04:302006-01-23T13:32:00.000+04:30VP, No no, i'm sure it's Seppo to 'Strine.
