Mrs. Olsen: Have a nice recess. I'm going down the street for, ah, a little fresh air. Girl: Interesting euphemism for stepping outfor a smoke. Frazz: I don't think it's us she's trying to convince.
Sharuniboy: The incredible part is that people think that such an obviouus, self-documenting, statement is something profound. It is as weak as the alleged bumpers it is mounted on.
Tobacco is the most addictive drug know. The USA was founded largely on growing and exporting it. We are to tobacco what Columbia is to cocaine. But which drug is legal?
“Convince” is just a poor choice of words – there is no intent to convince, as bigpuma notes. It’s more like deceive, as she is in denial and fooling herself more than us.
There was a strip where Dr. Spaetzle noted that Mrs. Olsen was due to give a health talk on the dangers of smoking, yet she was outside in the sleet grabbing a few puffs. Frazz replied, “That tells me all I want to know about smoking.”

to make people quit smoking, how about if we made a pack $1000+? the tax money collected would be able to plug our deficit holes.
