Ten cent cigarettes (joke)

Henry0Reilly

A feller walked into the general store and asked for ten cent pack of smokes. The proprietor looked at him and said, "We don't carry those, there's nothin' in 'em but horse droppin's and sawdust."

He goes into the drug store and asks for ten cent pack of cigarettes. The pharmacist says the same thing, "We don't carry those, they're nothin' but horse droppings and sawdust."

Finally at the cigar store he gets his ten cent pack of smokes. He tells the clerk what the druggist and grocer had said and the man replied, "They lied to you, they surely did. There ain't no sawdust in them cigarettes."

Remember Ruby Ridge.

I can remember paying ten cents a pack for cigarettes when I was in the army. Gave them up when I got out & had to pay twenty cents a pack.

When I was a kid, they gave them away at Fish Fry's or carnivals in small towns. For a dime, you could either purchase rings and ring a bottle, or purchase ping pong balls and get them in a bowl. For the prize, you got to pick out what type of cigarettes you wanted. This was the good ole days way before they put an age limit on buying cigarretes.

Look for the Good Things, not the bad, Life will be so much happier and easier.

When did they put an age limit on smokes.

If you will blame gun makers for every shooting then blame car maker for every car accident.

When I was a kid, Spuds and Wings were .10 cents a pack. Overseas
we had to pay .50 cents a carton when not given out free.

I can well remember buying smokes for less than $2 a carton in NC during the last century. We used to load up a trailer with cartons to haul them to TX, where the taxes made them two or three times more expensive, and trade them for Coors, which was not sold East of the Mississippi at the time, then pack the trailer with ice and dry ice for the trip back with the beer. Looking back at it, this was a damn fool thing to do - Gawd only knows how many laws we were breaking - but that beer sure did taste mighty fine and it made us "cool" in our peer group.

What with several of us quitting smoking I thought this worth a btt.
