The Coffeehouse Scene: Thank You For Not Smoking

[substitute]

It's comedy time again at my local coffee hole.

Since this place has the only large open patio around, smokers congregate. At first the management tried to segregate tobacco to a far corner of the patio. Possibly because of complaints from an adjacent beauty salon, they escalated to a complete ban, with the expected failure.

i might have to stage a berkeley style protest in which whiny kids who aren't aware of their own privilege complain about not having things that they don't really want in the first place.

Makes me want to start smoking and fly out there just to fuck with the poor bastards.

The only appropriate response is a big goddamned cigar.

It makes me wonder if the owner is himself trying to quit smoking, because he's obviously irritable and out of whack.
