I wonder if smokers realize that their income tax data smells like smoke. No one wants to prepare those returns and they’re often the ones not ready until April 15.
I know smokers don’t realize that everything they own reeks, including their children. A childhood friend of mine stank like an old ashtray because both his parents were 3-pack a day smokers (yes, that’s 6 packs of second-hand smoke, every day, for 18 years, up north, windows sealed all winter, heat on, AC in the summer, no fresh air, ever) It was hard getting near him and not so pleasant to hang out at his house. I once agreed to house a fellow student’s books for a year (and $100, a princely sum as a grad student in 1984) while she was on some field study break to the jungles of south america. Big mistake, because my house reeked of stale cigarette smoke for 6 months. It hadn’t occurred to me the paper would pick up so much of the smell, and I knew she smoked before I agreed.
