smoking pun

Sorry but i have to tell you how i quit. I turned forty two years ago and thought that quitting would be a nice present to give myself. my birthday falls on September sixth. Five days later i was sitting in the back room smoking, when my mom called me out to turn on the TV. "something awful happened," she said, still on the phone. But that was not enough. i still had one after working in the studio that night, and before... The thing that got me was that Jerry Seinfeld made a tasteless joke. He was on some show with Billy Crystal and they were starting up this comedy concert to raise money for the firemen's families, and the talk show guy asked about his reaction to the attack. Seinfeld said, "Oh, I couldn't believe it, I thought it was one of those anti-smoking ads and I was thinking boy These People are Serious!"
