This article is the funniest I've read in quite some time. lol While I sat here, alone, at my computer, in a quiet house, semi-darkened room, I laughed aloud, several times, while reading, here, by myself, like a lunatic, and hoping the neighbors can not here but not really caring either. lol. I loved it! Thank you.! And, I will laugh again at the outrageousness and absurbity of smoking and thinking my cigarette is my friend. This is a wonderful analogy piece of writing that is so funny in being the truth too. lol
