A brief funny thing

[bazjack]

I noticed an odd, burny smell in the living room. I said to my father, "Do you smell something weird?"

He sniffed several times. "Nope, nothing."

"Well, I smell something."

"What does it smell like?"

I breathed deeply once more, then answered in a puzzled voice, "Cigars."

He sniffed again. "Nope. No cigars."

I continued to sniff meditatively for a few moments then cracked up. "No cigar!" Dad looked at me. "Close, but no cigar!"

Upon which he accused me of setting him up. (I didn't.)
