As the campaign for the 1986 Saskatchewan election draws to a close, what is
on the minds of the typical voter?  A relative of mine, who is running for
office, reports the following incident:

CANDIDATE: What is concerning you most in this election?

VOTER:	   I'm tired of those buggers who won't let you smoke!

CANDIDATE: [Warily:] Oh?

VOTER:	   When I buy cigarettes, I pay taxes on them.  That tax is my
	   license to smoke anywhere I damn well please!

CANDIDATE: Well, that's certainly an interesting point of view.  I've
	   never heard that before.  Do you think we'll get this crop
	   off?
