“You will now crave cannabis.”

Nice. A spoonerism. I haven’t seen one in the comics for a long time. It’s the American lay of wife. (credit: Capitol Steps).

Is that the beer that made Mel Famee walk us?

When I was pregnant with my daughter in 1993, I got hypnotized to quit smoking. It worked and didn’t smoke the entire time I was pregnant. She had colic and would scream between the hours of 11 pm to 2 am. My (ex) husband at the time would snuff out his cigarettes before he would come inside. My nerves were frazzled and while waiting for my child to calm down, I saw 2 have smoked cigs in the ashtray. I picked them up and smoked them. I was hooked again. Fast forward to 2000, go in for a chest x-ray, and find the beginning stages of emphysema. I was told to quit or within 10 years, at the age of 50, I would be tethered to an oxygen tank. Went to go get hypnotized again, but went to a different doctor. He looked VERY much like the doctor in this comic, complete with the pointy beard. I walked into his office and was immediately transported back to the 70s! He shook my hand and it was like someone handing me a dead fish, cold and limp. Anyway, went through the process, walked out, and lit up. A week later, went back to the guy who hypnotized me in 1993. That was November 22, 2000. Haven’t had one since.

Nicotine’s in cheese now?
