"Hey, lemme have a smoke, willye?"
"Sure. Anything for my best buddy"
"What the fuck is this? How come you never
buy* the same brand twice in a row?"
"I dunno. I like variety. You gonna smoke your
mother's brand for the rest of
your life?"
"Fuck that. I mean, look at this thing. Recessed
filter. What kind of bullshit is that?"
"Just plain old bullshit, I guess."
"Why don't you just get Marlboros like most folks have"
"Hey....you want a fuckin Marlboro? Go buy your own &
quit bumming from me."
"Jeez...I was just sayin'....no need t'get pissed off"
"I'm not pissed off....just forget it, & maybe keep your
mouth shut when smoking someone else's smokes"

I actually remember those days. The corner store clerk didn't ask either. Boones Farm anyone?

How much was a smoke back then? I love the line about the candystore man. I remember buying them before school in junior high from the IGA across the street, and they never once questioned. They were around a dollar a pack then, tax and all I think. Seems unreal today. Thank you for sharing your skit :)

Wow. I'm really old. I remember them being .50 a pack! It's funny how you can judge age by prices!
You've really brought back some memories, Danny!

haha! I'm old but not old enough to have rocked out the 60's dangit! I had to watch all the fun from my bedroom window. I did get to enjoy some of the last "true" 60's drugs in the early-mid 70's though! Like...Wow,Man!
