Blowing Smoke
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".

Re: Blowing Smoke
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.

Re: Blowing Smoke
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
.
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.

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