.....The makers of Camel brand cigarettes have recently begun a U.S. marketing campaign for a smokeless product from Sweden called "Snus". I don't use tobacco, so I have no idea what this product is for or how it's used. I do, however, have a sneaking suspicion that their reason for marketing it in an English speaking country is that people will inevitably ask, "What's Snus?" giving them the perverse satisfaction of replying, "Oh, not much. What's Snus with you?"

.....I once owned a 1977 Chevy Blazer, one of the original, full-size models. It was mostly a bucket of rust but despite being nearly worthless it had one of most dependable, never-fail anti-theft devices I'd ever seen on any car before or since: the engine. If any thief managed to get that thing to start in a timely fashion, I'd say they deserved each other.

I don't know about you, but I still hear a little bit every day about ecological efforts, unlike previous years where you got one day of lip service and then it was back to the bad old habits the next day. Everybody seems to be touting 'green' programs. For instance, Comcast seems to be putting all of its efforts into discouraging people from using electricity in any capacity whatsoever.

.....Just a bit of friendly advice: if you're trying to impress someone by ordering in a foreign language at a restaurant you should remember (a) salmonella is not a small fish and (b) the staff can be a teensy bit sensitive about pronunciation, apparently.

.....A man walks into a doctor's office and says, "Doc, what do you recommend for a hangover?" and the doctor says, "Drinking heavily the night before. That'll be fifty dollars."
