Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 12, 2017

I like the smokestack on top of his head.

GOSPEL TO ALL SMOKER (sic)!

It’s frightening how blatant the lies of some advertisers. The hagi ad identifies it as originating from JAPAN.

I’ll take the hash pipe in the middle please.

If God had intended men to smoke, He would have put chimneys on their heads.

Gee, I wonder what the name of that law firm is?

If the Cancer Gremlin doesn’t get you, the Polar Ice Cap will.

Why is that LCE (lung-cancer elf) making a grab for Central America? I’m curious about those stringy things on his limbs (especially his arms). He’s also wearing far too much lipstick, and the color is all wrong for his jaundiced complexion.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it (NOT)

Note the book(?) on the desk.

Her two-finger handling of her hagi pipe makes her appear haughty. Then again, how does one hold a hagi pipe? The guy in the photo doesn’t even use his hands. He no doubt needs his hands-free to count out vast sums of his hard-earned income to retain the legal services of Rotifer & Rotifer, Attorneys at Lame Law. Am I mistaken or did Colonel Wilhelm Klink use a hagi pipe or was that General Burkhalter?

At one time I smoked a pipe but after people told me I smoked like a chimney I switched to chew.

They never spoke to me again.

Switch to smoked ham… that’s a good chew, too.

Is there a discount if one purchases multiple hagi pipes? Is it possible to mix and match? In other words, can RADISH buy three of the middle opium-looking pipes and get the discount?

Love your drawings on the hagi along with the devil made me do it.

Hellish Head Bong!!!!

Smoking is for the birds.

You can’t fly if you’re high.

When Hagi spoke again to the people, they said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never lung cancer from smoking, but will have the light of life.”

Makes you wonder who’s lying that blatantly in present-day advertising. Maybe some of the folks on dating or hookup sites?

Is that maybe Father Thalweg at that desk? It might explain what happened to him.

Electric Shock Treatment…..?

That’s not Dad. That’s Great Uncle Irving R. (my namesake).

Is he a captain of industry or just a pilot?

That is really old. I remember companies in the 1950s pushing pipes like that, claiming by “inhaling lesser and cooler smoke, you ran a lower risk of catching lung cancer.”

From a failed Google search: World’s Filthiest Man:“He claims cleanliness brings him sickness.By that logic, you’d probably smoke animal turds, too.Amou Haji, an 80-year-old Iranian, is being called the world’s dirtiest man. In an article published Jan. 6, he told the Tehran Times that he hasn’t bathed in 60 years.Haji reportedly lives in isolation in Dejgah village, in the Southern Iranian province of Fars, subsists on rotten porcupine meat, and says the thought of a bath after all this time makes him very angry.He said he adopted his extreme, isolated lifestyle after suffering emotional setbacks in his youth. "I’ll just bet he did.

Sophistication adorned cancer sticks..

Captain Beefheart – When It Blows It’s Stacks • https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1BnbnH2i5VI

Wow, thanks for the Captain Beefheart link. I remember seeing him open for Frank Zappa at Oakland’s Paramount Theater. He was pretty much booed off the stage by people impatient to see the great FZ, but it was somewhat justified since the bass instrument in his band was a trombone.

I think all the Hagi pipes were made to be fitted with cigarettes. So if you want to smoke your cigarette straight up, get the middle pipe. I vaguely recall in the back of my mind seeing a black and white European movie and a German was smoking a cigarette in the straight up position in a Hagi pipe.

Ahh! That Rooseveltian image, back in the day when smoking was The Proper Thing To Do, and all sophisticates did it! The Happy Warrior look! You buy much haji pipes for no cancer, yes? “Rotifer” Notepad-man endorses!

NO MORE RAIN-SOAKED CIGARETTES!
