What you can do instead of smoking...

3 Replies

Just a quick list at some alternatives to smoking.

Rather than smoke, you could...

[*]Make wild, passionate love

[*]Eat a carrot

[*]Apply online for a new job

[*]Brush your teeth - backwards

[*]Work on being at two places at once

[*]Spill salt and toss some over your shoulder

[*]Straighten pictures on the wall that have become uneven

[*]Review your permanent record and purge the negative stuff

[*]Write a novel

[*]Search the skies for unknown asteroids … before they hit the Earth

[*]Browse your high school yearbook

[*]Mow the lawn

[*]Mow the neighbor's lawn

[*]Come to terms with your ex

[*]Bake a lemon merangue pie

[*]Review the statistics on drunk driving fatalities in your town

[*]Assume the position and do twenty-five pushups

[*]Find out whether you can still become a Druid

[*]Donate your wardrobe to charity and start assembling your "fat" clothes

[*]Make a wish up on a star

[*]Remember it makes no difference who you are

[*]Sing a protest song

[*]Have a cup of Jello. There's always room for Jello.

[*]Yell at the kids to get off of your lawn.

[*]Take up knitting.

And that's just for starters.

Don't tell ME you don't know what else to do when you want to smoke.
