The Big Goof Has His 15 Minutes Of Fame
Made the local CBS news tonight. Instead of 15 minutes it was 15 seconds, if ya blinked ya missed me.. It is called editiing.
April 1st they raise the tax on tobbacco in NV....$1 more on a cigar, so I stopped to buy my 3 cigars every two weeks..saw the line buyng cigs ..about 125 people stqanding in line to stock up..decided to buy a bundle and a few more while still at the lower rate..Got to talking politics with this guy and the news guy pulls up and I get interviewed...about my buying more cigars...Oh well that it...I am done.

$1 per cigar?? That is regressive taxation on those who smoke piccolos!
That blatant unfairness could have been enunciated in a mere 10 seconds..

Just order online from overseas. It saves money and screws the gov't - a two-fer.

""I stopped by to buy three cigars today, then I saw about 100 people standing in line and I realized the price of cigarettes is going to go up so I bought about $100 worth of cigars so I could beat the price," said Ted Bryla, cigar smoker."
My shipment of $300 worth arrived last week...all locked away in ammo boxes, which make great air tight humidors.

When I called Mother all excited like, sayig, "Hey MA guess what I'm gona be on the news at 11." Mother replied in her most sardonic voice, " So the Big Goof is going to be on TV, what did you do now?" To which I replied, "Well Mother you have been trying to get your saggy ole a$$ on Star Search for ever."

Whenever I see a TV news camera, I do my best to unobtrusively fade away. I'm worried that somebody who watches america's most wanted might recognize me.
