Hey, I was thinking about that lately.  ("Why do I see piles of
cigarette butts in parking lot stalls?")  And I got to thinking:

	I hardly ever have to empty my car's ashtray.
	That's not surprising, I don't smoke, and I don't let people
	smoke in my car.
	I don't even like people who smoke to breathe in my car,
	it gets slime all over the windows and smells disgusting.
	It took me a while to come to the realization these losing
	cigarette addicts smoke 20 or 30 or 40 cigarettes a day!  Can
	you believe it?  That's a lot of butts.  So that's why you see
	the little monumental piles in every parking lot.

I'm so detached from cigarette-smoking circles that the thought of THAT
MANY butts was pretty shocking to me.  What a moronic habit.  (You have
to be pretty funky to see the transcendental beauty of this netnews
item...)
