Also, the root word of both ‘tobacco’ and ‘bactrian’ is ‘bac’, which is Greek for “spit”.

Obviously a user on non-filters.

I love these Web sites verification processes.

My boyfriend has a record of public information a mile long, starting with his birth in Germany at a military hospital and ending with his 36th birthday a week and a half ago. He smokes Camels so I thought I’d sign him up - Marlboro is always sending ME free shit like the portable ashtray I got for filling out a survey, and free smokes to test, so I thought he’d like that too.

They “cannot verify that he is over 21” and we have to fill out a hardcopy form. Haha. Joke’s on you, Tashaboy, we think you’re too young to smoke.

I know, I know, they’re covering their asses and trying to make sure minors don’t get cigarettes. Very responsible. It’s just annoying to those of us who are definitely old enough to smoke.
