Smoking Man

Famous quotes containing the words smoking and/or man:

    Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.
    Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

    There was an old man from Peru
    Who dreamed he was eating his shoe;
    He woke in a fright
    In the middle of the night
    And found it was perfectly true.
    —Unknown. There was an old man of Peru (l. 1–5)
