Coughing Ashtray

Good grief, bad sounding cough that in theory would turn anyone off smoking forever...I took one out to Lanzarote as a present for my Morrocan friend who does smoke rather a lot, his mates too..he delighted in showing it off and sharing his disgust at the sound of the coughing. Then it promptly got put back in it's box ready for the next visitor. They all half laughed, with slightly horrified undertones at this ashtray. Not being accustomed to nick nacks or novelties, my sanity was truly put up for question. I was looked upon as being purely nutty prior to the ash tray, after that I was demoted to positively insane. I think it made my friend and his pals smoke more in fact to calm their nerves!! My friends on the other hand shrieked with laughter. Having watched live TV shows from Marrakesh which mesmerised my friend , I realised that there was more than the mere persian gulf between our culture andthat of the arabic world. So much for universal humour!

How can I walk down the street with her again, lol I had no idea she was up to this and she has only just told me. She has not been well and had forgotten to let her mates know about this site and competition. It is mad no wonder she has not been well playing with these gadgets I wondred where half of her mad stuff came from.

Oh no, I have known Angie since we were at school together and even though we haven't met for years westay in touch.,hat can I say, this review is crazy considering she beat cancer, dropped dead a year later and another year down the line can even look at an ashtray. Mad, the girl is mad the site is really good too.

Now I know what the ashtray looks like I will be ready for this one next time I visit Angie...hopefuly she only bought one and left it in Lanzarote. This along with her other rviws simply confirm what all her friends knew already, she is crazy, in a lovely way though. Glad I don't smoke...

I can hardly believe this review since angie is in remission fromcancer even though it was not smoking related. That's what I call a sense of humour. It would put me off smoking but make me laugh instead so I better explore this site.
