smoke

I smoke as you probably know. And I prefer to roll my own cigarettes, just because I like it. And of course it's a lot cheaper. So I enjoy it even more. I also smoke regular cigarettes but it's more a matter of *it's late, I ran out off tobacco, stores aren't open now, I better find some change for one of the cigarette machines on my street*.
My favourite has always been Javaanse Jongens mild. Fine tobacco and a great sense of humor when it comes to advertising stuff. For a short time the shag was sold in tin boxes and one of them had a drawing of the two guys and a crocodile on it and went something like:
Smokers are evil, and evil people get bitten by the crocodile.
And I am thinking, okay, what else did you smoke when you printed that on the box? Needless to say I loved it.
So today I bought a new pack, opened it and saw a new inside printing starting with the headline *rolling your cigarettes saves you money*. Okay! Thanks for telling me. I've never would have noticed without your help! So, I keep reading, still waiting for it to turn out to be funny. But it isn't! They actually tell you how much you'll save smoking their tobacco. It ends with a *So, what do you do with all the money?* and a stupid drawing of a guy and his money.
Maybe I'm just not getting it. Maybe I missed the joke here. Maybe you can really tell how bad your economy is when the creative ones lose their sense of humor in favour for a plain calculation.
Well, there's still the fine tobacco left to enjoy. I just hope they won't print it on a tin box.
