My wife and I went to Samuel's Dele for lunch. Had a great chopped liver sandwich. On the way in another gentleman was getting ready to enter so I opened the door for him. He was smoking a cigar(no band). He set it leaning on the ash tray outside prior to going into the restaraunt.

When we left he was also leaving. As he left he stopped and picked up his cigar from the ash tray and stuck that bad boy back in his mouth. After leaving it in a public ash tray.

Has anyone else done this? Am I the only one that thinks this is disgusting?

Jet once left a girl leaning against a lampost in a public place and came back three days later and picked her up again.......

Sorry Jet, that was just too funny for me to pass up.

Actually Lance, I've clipped a smoke and "hid" it up on the window ledge before and came out and got it again, but never a public ashtray.

uhhh...well, actually 2 weeks ago, i HAD to pee...and the wife was taking too long...it was night...the ashtray was in the corner...NO people walking around...i was in and out in under 3 minutes (did not go out)...when i was going to it, though, a guy walked right past it...i think he looked at it strange (as cigars are not common here). now i feel shame.

I have to admit I have hidden a cigar on a window ledge. This guy cigar was soaking wet when he put it in the ash tray. Who knows what ended up on that thing.

By the way Wonder Woman was not a lesbian, maybe Bi. She had that affair with the invisible man. You remember when Superman was flying around and saw her sunbathing naked flew down got a piece and wonder woman said what was that and the invisible man said he didn't know but his back end was sore.

I routinely set them on the back bumper of my truck if I'm out and about running errands and such, but no never a public ash tray.

Yes, but the real story is that the invisible man had slipped WW a mickey and had her convinced he was a she with a strap-on.....

By the way Burg, "in and out in under 3 minutes.....?"

Now, the board may not know this, but you and I both KNOW that there are no paper towels in Japanese toilets, only those ultra-violet light emitting, airless, handryers that take approximatetly 7 minutes to dry your hands.....

So....which is it?

1. You carry your own paper towels (or hankie)?

2. You ruined a good smoke with wet hands?

or

3. You broke the first rule of clean hands etiquette?

When we meet soon in Kansai, can we just sort of bow at each other instead of shaking hands?

:)

JJ,

Don't they fall off?

I once got pulled over in Oregon, with a half full can of Olympia sitting on top of my car.......the cop told me to slow down, then he dumped the beer and walked over and tossed it into a rubbish bin. No ticket.

we can bow...i rarely shake hands anymore...and i NEVER use that tepid air machine...i ALWAYS have a hanky...but the ones you buy here that are thick! not those thin, white american ones.

and i was drying as i hustled back to my cooling cigar

Hey adroomi,

curious, what date/time is it there on that side of the world?

lance

Quarter past two in the afternoon in Beijing......

beijing is 1 hour behind japan, i see.

Wow, and I'm getting ready to go to bed. Here in Vegas it is 10pm.

Burg,

Yep, my watch and KTTI are on Japan time still.

Stupid Vodafone Global! I get a great signal EVERYWHERE in the world EXCEPT Japan!

I'm switching to AU I think.....

I spose I should prolly clarify my statement. I don't like putting them in the ash tray cause I also smoke ciggys and they seem to suffocate in an enclosed ash tray so I set them on the bumper if I have to run into a store real quick or sumpfin...LOL

droo--i have the SAME problem...my vodafone was OUT for two days i was in that small town...my friends' AUs were going strong!
