[lbo-talk] Hitch at work

[Jim Devine]

a dialogue with Rep. Nancy Pelosi:
>"Are you going to light that… thing?" she demanded, referring to the
unlit cigarette dangling from my lips.


>"Well, uh, yes – it is still legal, you know."<

in case you wondered, the second-hand smoke physcially irritates those
who don't smoke. Those who used to be smokers are often irritated even
more. So threatening to light a cigarette can be quite rude.
