According to The Awl's annual cigarette price check, for which they call delis in each state and ask how much a pack of cigarettes costs, New York clocks in with the most expensive, at more than $14 a pack

In Kentucky, where the cigarette tax is just 60 cents, a pack costs $4.96

I had to quit smoking. Shingles took away my desire for nicotine.

When a friend of mine is so desperate to smoke in front of me (and he knows what I'm going to say) I ask him to drop his pants, bend over and hand me his cigarettes. I threaten to stick them up his ass because that's better than smoking them. Funny thing, he's never taken me up on that offer.

I apologize for being a bit too vulgar and strident about that.

(I fixed infant to "in front". Blame it on my fumble fingers.)

You were't vulgar, I thought it was funny

Don't ask do.

How does one get an infant lit, Dave?

in front ... ... ... damnit ... ... ... in front.

That's the same mistake that forced me to generate a fourth proof on my anthology. I just started reading it again. That takes a week.

For some reasons, my keyboard and fingers like "infant" instead of "in fact" or "in front" ...

damn. All those effing "f" words.

Haha!

Yeah, I have words that I cannot type either.

That's why I so need a pervy proofreader!

Therein lies the danger of a spell checker. It can turn your gibberish (from which someone could figure out what you really meant to type) into a real word (which people assume you meant). I've been stung that way many times, sometimes with embarrassing consequences.
