Don't Smoke
A couple of hours into a visit with my mother, she noticed I
hadn't once lit up a cigarette. "Are you trying to kick the
habit?" she asked.
"No," I replied. "I have a cold, and I don't smoke when I'm
not feeling well."
"You know," she observed, "you'd probably live longer if you
were sick more often."
