About time

Don't know rightly what that was all about. I couldn't post anything. I am hoping this works

Welcome to the newest phenomenon created by the ever popular Lexington Smoking Ban. As you drive through town or around any of the local drinking emporiums during drinking hours, you will see better than half the population of customers standing outside smoking.

You remember the good old days. You would have to go inside and buy the obligatory drink or two to be able to size up the place. During this two drink minimum, you could also investigate the local pick up challenges. Not any more. The local meet/meat market now has drive thru or drive by service. You can size up the bar and your date prospects without ever actually stepping inside the bar. They are all out there puffing away. If you see something of interest, you can park it, walk over to the smoking crowd, pull out a cig, ask for a light, and you are in the group, without buying one drink. C'mon out and cruise the crews.

The annual savings are staggering. Of course, this will only work if you smoke. Savings will be less if you have to start smoking, offset by the cost of your new addiction. As always, there is a substantial penalty for early withdrawal.
