"Mind if I Smoke?"

I remember the reply to that.

Too funny!

I love FART JOKES, but not everyone does. I am reminded of how often I would emulate Steve Martin in my early 20's. An older gentlemen bumped into me at a department store once and said "Oh Excuse Me". I replied "What'd you do, FART?". If looks could kill. He stared me down for a good 30 seconds and walked away shaking his head, probably saying to himself, "Kids!".

"Mind if I smoke" also reminds me of the last line of "The Smokers" from his book "CRUEL SHOES". I'll paste it here, and you'll see if you don't remember:

He lit the cigarette and smoked it down to the filter in one breath. He silently thanked the cigarette company for being thoughtful enough about his health to include a filter to protect him. So he lit up another. This time he didn't exhale the squeaky-clean filtered smoke, but just let it nestle in his lungs, filing his body with that good menthol flavor. Some more smokers knocked on his door and they came in and all started smoking along with him.
"How wonderful it is that we're all smoking," he thought.
Everyone smoked and smoked and after they smoked they all talked about smoking and how nice it was that they were all smokers and then they smoked some more.
Smoke, smoke, smoke. They all sang "Smoke That Cigarette" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." Then the smokers smoked one more cigarette and left him alone in his easy chair, about to relax and enjoy a nice quiet smoke.

And then his lips fell off.
