Thirty cigarettes a day? That's only a pack and a half. My mother smokes two packs a day, looks great and she's 75 years old.

Get over it Ronnie!

I smoke 2 packs a day ya fag.

RON WOOD with no make-up and naked.

30 fags a day is a very high risk of AIDS. ZING

Well done Seinfeld.

HAHA That was great!
Only one so far that's made me laugh, including any threads I've read today.

Whether it's homosexuals or cigarettes, he's still smoking "something".

30 a day? I don't think even that beats Elton John's record.

When Keith dies we can dry him, roll him and smoke him.

"The only British euphemism I know is that cigarettes are called 'fags'" "Well, tell this cigarette to leave us alone."

I don't know about you guys, but I could go for a fag right now.

screamin_g		2004-03-14 10:02:22 AM

Bum a fag?

Lord Farkuaad		2004-03-14 10:05:12 AM

Please burn all the fags.

Nothing But Net		2004-03-14 10:08:54 AM

Ron Wood didn't join the Stones until 1975. So the other blokes had like a 15 year jump on him. Of all the past and present Stones, only one is dead (Brian Jones). On the other hand, three of the six relatively squeaky clean Beatles are dead (Stu Sutcliffe, John Lennon, George Harrison). Party on!

blueknight		2004-03-14 10:12:17 AM

i work with a guy that smokes 4 packs a day,and he dont even worry about it!

IamGod2u		2004-03-14 10:14:12 AM

Even Tom Cruise doesn't have a 30 fag a day habit.
My God. That's Magic Johnson territory...

ZAZ		2004-03-14 10:17:19 AM

Sounds like the doctor said to him, "the 25 years of smoking hard didn't hurt your lungs, but the 26th year could kill you." The doctor probably tells all his smoking patients they could die soon if they don't quit.

InfernalCatfish		2004-03-14 10:19:05 AM

"Hey, remember that time we went to England and learned the real meaning of 'fag'?"

"YOU'RE A FAG!"

"No, no, it means 'cigarette'!"

"YOU'RE A CIGARETTE!"

You think its funny. Imagine what its like living in the UK, us brits virtually never stop laughing at our crazy language.

dewars-rocks		2004-03-14 11:01:56 AM

Isn't a small bundle of sticks also called a 'fag' in the UK?

Just wondering

Please peddle hatred somewhere else, eh?

TwistedTenacity		2004-03-14 11:16:24 AM

I wish I had a camera to capture my face as my Australian girlfriend said to me, "You've been out fagging with Kevin, haven't you?" after I came in from a smoke. I knew what she meant, but it still caught me a little off guard to hear it come out of her mouth.

NakedApe		2004-03-14 11:17:50 AM

Thirty fags a day is a lot of sucking. No wonder doctors are concerned about his lungs.

"Keith Richards seen nearby stifling laugher"

This headline doesn't make sense... WHO WAS THE LAUGHER THAT RICHARDS WAS STIFLING?

Oh oh oh... the illiterate boob who submitted this meant laughter. Must be the result of Bush's unfunded education mandate aka No Child Left Behind.

What was the question?

Ouisch		2004-03-14 11:34:33 AM

I remember the first time I took my husband to England...he was born and raised in rural Georgia, and was unfamiliary with the British vernacular. One day we were walking along Oxford Circus when a man approached my husband, who was smoking a Marlboro, and said "bum a fag?" Hilarity didn't ensue.

"a pack and a half? you little puss. i go through two lighters a day."

Radworld4		2004-03-14 12:18:54 PM

I think hes confusing "lucky to alive" with "lucky he's not dead"...quite a difference.

I thought the same thing when I read the thread title. :)

How do you stiffle a "laugher"?

I hung out in a park once outside Victoria Station with some guy from Manchester for two or three hours. All I could understand was that he was in town to visit some "bird." Didn't figure it out till we parted.

IamGod2u		2004-03-14 12:52:06 PM

"Hey, Can I bum a fag, Mate?"

It was Freddy Mercury who had a 30 fag a day habit.

VinegarJones -- You got his manner of speech down perfectly.

Hopefully these guys will choose to be shot into space when they die, not buried like nuclear waste, nor burned like fossil fuels.
