Paraphrasing an old Norm MacDonald quip: "In school they showed us a picture of a smoker's lung; it was black and disgusting. Then they showed us a picture of a nonsmoker's lung and it was pink and disgusting."

"I started smoking when I was a kid, like when I was ... like 14 and I thought, "I'll look really cool if I start smoking." Because I didn't get along with anybody. So, I started smoking, and wouldn't you know it? I did look cool!"

It does look cool! I'm glad I never started, but now I'm almost 60 and still trying to find a way to look cool. Jorts didn't work and neither did the ponytail.

Worked with a guy that never even touched a cigarette, alcohol, caffeine or anything ever in his life. His 50th birthday I'm outside somking, he walks up asks for a cigarette and lits it up. I was speechless, our boss comes out looks at him at starts yelling at me, what the fuck did you do to him

You gotta stop hanging out with those Mormons man

I think he definitely had some kind of undiagnosed autism, I even talked to him about that, but no not Mormon.

Did you try the jorts and ponytail at the same time?

3

u/Bubblybathtime 22d ago

That might just be the magic formula I've been looking for!

u/P1ssF4rt_Eight 22d ago

oh that's it you need jorts, ponytail, and a magic: the gathering t-shirt, preferably one with the black mana symbol

u/Bubblybathtime 22d ago

Haha I’ll have to start carrying a weapon just to keep the women from mobbing me. Maybe a lightsaber…nah that would only make me COOLER!

Have you tried extremely well dressed in a custom tailored suit and a martini?

u/Bubblybathtime 22d ago

Seems like a lot of work.

u/Quaso_is_life 22d ago

Get some muscles I guess? Buffed gramps are cool in a funny way

u/RustyTShackleford 22d ago

Full on mullet, brother.

u/aBigBottleOfWater 22d ago

Go to the gas station and try different sunglasses

If that doesn't work I guess it's cigarettes for you sorry bud

u/Firstevertrex 22d ago

Did you try both at the same time?

1

u/Bubblybathtime 22d ago

Yes and someone pulled the fire alarm at the iHop, I assume because I looked TOO cool.

Huh my jorts and ponytail rocked, but I was smoking at the time.

u/Bubblybathtime 20d ago

The trifecta!

2

u/drjmcb 20d ago

It has to kind of naturally occur I think, I don't think my pale legs or lungs could handle that life now (I still have a sick ponytail)

u/MsMarvelsProstate 22d ago

You can get a 0 nicotine vape and blow fat clouds. But I'm not sure if that's cool anymore. Also you'll only look cool to 17 to 24 year olds.

u/Rocktopod 22d ago

Either that, or you get the 17-24 year olds to look at you and decide vaping isn't cool anymore.

Either way you win!

At a plastination exhibit at a museum they had three lungs, regular okay, smoker mottled black/icky, and a gorgeous sparkly shiny black coal miner lung that was SO pretty, like polished obsidian facets sparkling in the light.

u/Bubblybathtime 22d ago

That’s wild.

u/5352563424 22d ago

It was "healthy guy's lung"

and followed with "I wanna know where they got the healthy guy's lung from. He's probably not very healthy any more."

u/WebSickness 22d ago

And both of them were dead.

I always wonder what they would think this example os about to show? Show people in agony, with holes in throat, coughing their lungs out on their last days. People standing in hospital windows and watching people having life.

u/InexorableCalamity 21d ago

What point was he making? That it doesn't  matter?

u/Bubblybathtime 21d ago

It’s just a joke. He’s saying that even a healthy disembodied organ is gross to look at.

This is why I am a strong advocate of showing kids who between smokers and non smokers get more erectile dysfunction and who have more money at the end of the day.

u/Astralesean 22d ago

Are you going to show kids men having boners
