HIS CIGAR WAS DISTASTEFUL

Man Accosted on Railroad Platform Not Sure of Other’s Society, But Certain of His “Twofpr.” "I hope my society is not disagreeable to you,” remarked the mffcft who was smoking a “twofer” to another man who rather hastily moved over to the other side of the station platform when he got a whiff of the first man’s cigan - « “Not being acquainted with you, sir,” answered the man addressed, “I cannot say whether your society would be agreeable to me or not, but as concerns that cigar you are smoking I have reached a conclusion that is final. I cannot maintain that serenity of bearing with which I am accustomed to face the daily problems of life and at the same time inhale fumes that Induce in me an acute sensation of nausea.”
