Stogie

I like the smoker code. I'm not a smoker, never have been, so I probably sound like a dip shit talking about whether or not they have a code, but from what I can see I'm pretty sure they do.

I just love how it's accepted, even welcomed with arms wide open, for fellow smokers to walk up to each other, having never met, and ask for a cigarette.

It's like they all this communal relationship, or their in some kind of gang. "Hey, I smoke, you smoke, let's share!" I give to you, then you give to someone else. They all get it. It's a wonderful pay it forward.

But it's funny, because we all need food, but there's no food gang. I wish I could go up to someone and say, "Hey, I eat food, you eat food! Can I have a bite of your sandwich?"

That just wouldn't fly, but you smokers have made it work. Ya share, and I like that.
