Wise decision, sig, but I find a lager and a smoke go together like ham and eggs.
And with poker too. I was playing last night (small time stakes), and found meself with a decision to make. Will my four jacks hold up against Claude's =potential= straight flush? "Gentlemen, let me ponder deeply here..." Lit a Marlboro and studied the cards. "Claude, I don't believe you. See your raise and reraise fifty cents." "Another fifty," sez Claude. "See that and raise the final fifty." "You been called, Mike," said the dealer. "Four jacks, Ceege. You make that hand you wanted?" "No! Oy, Mike, gimme a smoke for the love of your Christian God."
I handed Claude the pack while raking in the chips with my other hand.
