My Dad is an ex-Army cook. He swears that the WWII era cigarettes in the C rations were, by 1953, so dried out they went up like flashbulbs. He says they were nearly all offbrands no one had ever heard of. At least some packs got used as targets- no point in trying to smoke anything trying to burn your eyebrows off, I guess.

You may want something stronger than a root beer today, Opus!

Okay…Baseball bat, bathroom, ax coming through the door. If he yells “Here’s Johnny!” then I’m outta here.

I hope there’s a window in that bathroom for Opus’ sake!

Mark twain once remarked that giving up smoking wasn’t hard, why he had done it a thousand times…

…betcha it was hard on those around you…anyway, why does Opus have the cigarettes around? When I quit, I made sure there was NO “emergency” supply…

If Opus isn’t careful, he’s going to need a hospital.

Methinks Opus is getting axed.
