Another reason to quit smoking #7. Opening scene: A fresh cup of coffee, a comfy chair, a faithful laptop. The Star of the show is yours truly, who lights a morning cigarette as an ancillary treat. Hot cherry cascades unseen to lap. Unaware of the impending tragedy, other than an unidentified discomfort, the main character (me) clicks on the icon for the SDMB website. Oww! Ouch. Owwie! Fresh cup of coffee desperately poured onto crotch. Fire out. I am going back to bed and will pretend this never happened. ---

I had to read this three times, thinking I’d missed something. If “hot cherry” isn’t slang for a glowing cigarette ember, then I’m lost. At first I was thinking that somehow you were having something like Cherries Jubilee at your computer. ---
