Your "Smokin" Good News

Famous Pipe Quotes:

"Pipe smoking is the most protracted of all forms of tobacco consumption. it may explain why pipe smokers are generally regarded as patient men--and philosophers."

Jerome E. Brooks

"A pipe is the fountain of contemplation, the source of pleasure, the companion of the wise; and the man who smokes, thinks like a philosopher and acts like a Samaritan."

PIPE POEM IN FAVOR OF TOBACCO

Much victuals serves for gluttony

To fatten men like swine;

But he's a frugal man indeed
That with a leaf can dine.

And needs no napkin for his hands,
His fingers' ends to wipe,

But keeps his kitchen in a box,
And roast meat in a pipe.

Samuel Rowlands (1611)

"Here is a pen and here is a pencil, here's a typewriter, here's a stencil, here's a list of today's appointments, and all the flies in all the ointments, the daily woes that a man endures -- take them, George, they're yours!"
Ogden Nash ( American writer of humorous poetry )

I really feel for those who have been affected by the down swing of the economy. I am also very thankful for the living in Arizona, though I'm still waiting for that cooler weather. It is still hitting a 100 degrees in October. At least it isn't snowing; I'll give you that. While thinking of things to be thankful for, I thought of our new colored Ebonite rods.
