Blowing Smoke

[Gary]

Back in the eighteenth century, there was a device called the "Tobacco Smoke Enema". It consisted of a small bellows with a metal bowl for burning tobacco and a long tube for enemas... and was used for various ailments. It eventually was thoroughly discredited, leaving us with the popular expression "blowing smoke up your ass".

Hi Gary,
the technowledgy is not lost, I have met and endure people with that same problem, "blowing out their arz ".
Hopefully I do not meet that criteria.

I think Gary wants to resurrect the practice. He probably sees all the money going to jenny Craig and Weight watchers and thinks there could be a market:D.

Meanwhile, Mikeref is getting the gimp suit ready for Stu, who really is tied up in the closet to try out the new remedy.


Ohhhhh, I had too much rum last night. I'm seeing weird things.

You'll have to ease up on the local poison Mike. I'll have a look around Toronto today and find you a therapist:)
