Some people would walk a mile for one.
Too late it occurs to me that most of you are too young to remember that slogan. "I'd walk a mile for a Camel" cigarette. Sorry.
My ex-mother in law still smokes them. She claims they're the reason she's still sharp, kicking and more at 80something
I actually think she's onto something as anybody who could smoke one without vomiting, coughing or feeling horrible has to be cut from another cloth
TLP--"I'd walk a mile for a Camel" is like the Burma Shave ads. Classic ads know no generation
Once again Doug you and Bierce can't be improved upon
Camel, currency for bride.
Camel, Joe -- a famous smoker who was euthanized by legislation because he allegedly pushed cigarettes to minors. He did not receive a jury trial by his peers. His sentence was passed and carried out, and then his obituary was posted. Several of my in-laws, all adults, mourned him greatly. The wailing and teeth gnashing was truly quite frightening. My BIL set up his Joe Camel t-shirts as a shrine.

Camel - can rival my brother in the types of food it can eat and the amount it can drink without dying.
That's ok, TLP. If it helps, I do remember walking a mile for one.
I don't know, Pia. I think a water-bearing hump on my back might be handy.
Ariel, that sounds about even.
Quilly, Joe Camel was just weird to me. I guess I was too old by then to get it.
Boy, sounds like a walking oasis to me. But can they get a date?
Aw. Sorry to hear, brother Bear. I couldn't find your number yesterday or I'd have mourned with you.
Icy, you probably ought to find something brown to roll in.
Just so, Weirsdo.
Peace be upon Nascar, 'moeb.
Poobah, I absolutely don't get it but I laughed anyway.
