        Both can be correct. I didn’t know plastic was as bad as it was when I was a kid. I laugh at how stupid I used to be all the time.

        Besides, if that man is still alive he’d be like 95 and in the exact same situation as the rest of us. Maybe we could joke together about how fucking stupid we are while cursing the corporations that lied to us.

        Edit: bad math

      They weren’t nurses, they were candy strippers.

    Years ago, had an octogenarian, out-of-state relative visiting. She had emphysema and got around with a portable oxygen tank on wheels, and a nose cannula.

    She excused herself to go outside and smoke.

    With the oxygen still on.

      Are you pretending cash isn’t a thing as a joke or is there actually a mobile payment device in the photo? 😅

          Yeah, I did have to do a triple-take on that as well, especially since he’s holding it like we would hold a touchscreen these days. 🙃

    @PugJesus Probably one of the least dangerous, injurious, and addictive substances brought to him by those nurses that day.

    Relaxes in the T-Zone. More doctors recommend Camels than any other cigarette.
