Smoke that Cigarette If You Can!

As all you know, I am a self-confessed smoker. I smoke whenever I feel like it, wherever I want. 'Not a good thing, I know but it became a part of my lifestyle which is hard to let go.

Anyhow, when I went to my job int
erview a month ago, the first thing I checked was the smoking area and just when I got the post, I imagined myself that I would be sitting in one of the benches outside my office, chatting with co-workers under the shady tent while smoking and sipping coffee.

Until my second day at work, the guys in the office invited me to smoke outside. While having a casual talk, I looked up and realiz
ed an amusing sign about cigarette smoking posted over my head. Underneath the tent was this (EXACT!) picture:


And come to think of it... I was in the middle of smoking a CARBON MONOXIDE!!

I ought to be scared with this one. But since I'm such an odd person, I found it pretty amusing instead. One thought that came into my mind: "Who on earth would put up this sign in a smoking area?" I shook my head. "Unbelievably atrocious."

I looked at the other people smoking and they didn't seem to notice. Everybody was busy huffing and puffing smoke to relieve stress (including me).

I looked at my cigarette and smiled. "Gee, I'm about to hit Methanol," threw my cigarette, excused myself then head back to the office.


LESSONS LEARNED:

- If I can't stop smoking.. try not to hit an Industrial Solvent. Guess that would decrease my chance of dying by .01% when I smoke everyday.
- Never read signs when in a smoking area again. It's guilt-free.
