Not long after that, they each pulled out large cigars and started to puff on them, for godonlyknows what reason. I hate cigars. I also hate Illinois Nazis, but that is something else. Anyway, after about 4-5 minutes of this obnoxiousness, I finally turned to the kids and said, "Hey--why don't you put those goddamned things out--they smell like shit!" (which they did). I was 23 at the time, and I'm not entirely sure why they listened to me, but they both put out the cigars, sat foolishly for a minute or two, then left. I don't normally do things like that, but I'm glad I did. I have enough of a problem with somebody smoking cigars that actually likes them, but a couple of kids who were doing it only to impress each other was too much for me. Goddamned kids. Kids these days. Grumble. Cough. GlennNOWASTEDBYTESFORSIGNATURESHEREReid
