It's me, the Madman with the funny cigarettes again. I felt nasty again so I repeated this "experiment". My last posting drew several comments that maybe I didn't put enough "flavorings" in or that the strong taste of the mixed-in tobacco overpowered them. Anyway, I modified 2 cigarettes so they had 1/4 inch of tobacco starting in from the tip, then 1/4 inch of (get this!) *HORSESHIT*. That's right, Horse manure! (I hear you flaming already!) My friend (same one) smoked them and DIDN'T NOTICE! He smoked 1/4 inch of PURE HORSESHIT TWICE and DIDN'T NOTICE! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! :-) Before you flame me about how I could do that to a friend, we regularly pull practical jokes on each other, (he has done equally nasty things to me) and besides, whats the difference? Both are burning weeds, just that one batch has been through the horse once! Also, he knows he is a fool for smoking, he probably would stop if he wasn't "hooked". I think that I'll make a cigarette of 100% pure horseshit (except the tip) sometime. That ought to be interesting. Anyone want to try it? Enjoy your cigarettes. "You claim I'm paranoid?
