Did you not see the slide on the screen that clearly instructs smoking is strictly prohibited?” The young man looked at him and replied: “I am not blind. Did you not see the next slide with big letters ‘Marlboro is the best. Smoke Marlboro cigarette’?” ********* “My wife and I are getting along much better now.” “That is almost improbable.
