With ciggies, that hitting bottom shit doesn't occur till your doctor whips out your fucking x-ray that you've been putting fucking off for weeks because you already fucking know what the fuck it's going to show and that fucking bastard doctor informs you you are going to fucking die and it isn't going to be very fucking long now and it is going to fucking hurt like hell and it's because you fucking did not quit the goddamn fucking cigarettes 25 fucking years ago , you stupid fucking twit.
Well... Yeah. It's not quite that bad, but the writing is on the wall. Every time I've had a chest X-ray or CT scan done, I've expected that time to be *the* time I get the bad news. Not that there hasn't been bad news before, there has - in spades - but just nothing brought to you by the letter C.
