Elementary

It’s a smokin’ hot episode today people as we delve into the world of Smoking. 

We’ll run into Colombos, Hamlet and Charles Dickens as we uncover why we have pipe dreams, why stogie cigars are linked to wagons, how pipes and musical instruments are connected and that the original meaning of blowing smoke up someone’s arse is very different from today’s.. 

Susie will make sure our understanding of smoking idioms is up to snuff and Gyles shares tales of an icon of his that is synonymous with the pipe.

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 

Twithought: A fleeting thought

Potgun: Something that makes a lot of noise but that is ultimately irrelevant.

Holy Willie: hypocritically pious person

Gyles reads ‘Fall’ by Connie Bensley

When you’re falling

Expect a split second of thought

before you hit the stone, stair or ground

 

How to use it?

Worrying about the dog? No

Regretting your ancient underwear? No

Cursing the car which is careering towards you? No

 

Use this tick of time to turn your head in such a way

that your teeth avoid the primary impact

 

This will enable you to smile at the first responder

When he bends to lift you with his big hands out of the gutter
