I saw a man seriously running today for exercise--but he had a cigarette hanging from his mouth

as he ran.

1. Many did that during PT in the navy back in the 80's.

I’m sure before that too. It does surprise today that someone would do that though.

6. Yep, my brother was Navy and did that. Crazy! nt

[Skittles]

2. so?

8. It wasn't you, was it Duncanpup?

4. All that aerobic exercise

ensures you draw that therapeutic smoke deep into the lungs.

[Demobrat]

5. Are you sure it was a tobacco cigarette?

People have been known to toke on joints in between laps on the track.

Don’t ask me how I know.

7. There's a plus

If one tokes in between laps, the THC really gets pumped through their system because of their increased heart rate.

So I'm told.

[tblue37]

11. Yep. Besides, this is Kansas. Pot isn't legal here, so people smoke it in private.

9. Decades ago when I smoked, I'd take a 50 mile bicycle ride. I'd ride fastest on way home to smoke.

Glad I kicked that habit. Back in the day, we were allowed to smoke in college lectures, they had ashtrays on the desks.

10. Little chocolate donuts

12. Around town, I see guys on bicycles

with cigarettes. In general, they look healthy

13. Were you in France?NT

[tblue37]

14. Kansas.

16. I've seen old Tour de France footage where the riders were smoking

That's why I mad the comment.

15. Back in the day, I used to do "negative chins ups"

at the gym.

You would wear a belt that was strapped to a large stack of weights, walk up a few steps, put your chin above a bar, and then lower yourself slowly with the weights resisting against you. If you did them right, they would rip you apart. You would be shaking so bad when you got down and unhooked the weights, that your knees would buckle.

One time when I was on the way down to the floor, two random guys came in the side door and stood talking to someone a few feet away from me. They were both smoking cigs. In a gym. I'll never forget that...one of the strangest things I've seen.

They got thrown out.

17. Probably put a unmixed martini

in his water bottle before he left. So it would be well shaken not stirred when he wanted it.
