There’s no getting around the fact that tobacco juice is sticky and unpleasant, but Planting the small plant is mostly just muddy and dirty because you don’t get so much juice on you. Packing it in the spring is gross because the concentrated juice is everywhere, but you don’t ingest it like you do when you’re spearing and hanging it. Ok, so in retrospect, it is gross and disgusting when you confine all the juice to your clothes, and it’s like swallowing a can of Copenhagen in the hot sun when you don’t.

You make that sound like a really good time! You should have been paying them to have that kind of fun.
