Metro-North Railroad's 11:09 "outta Noo Hamboig" (New Hamburg) station and don't you just love how many New Yorkers (Noo Yawkiz) get to read the same paper and only one person had to pay for it?
So I spied a Daily News on a seat and took it to read on the way down to the changeover at Croton-Harmon and after leafing through from the sports section to Page 1 (that's how Noo Yawkiz read da papuh) I noticed on my way over to Page 1 that "Uncle Mike" has kinda sorta fessed up that maybe sum guyz wuz smokin' cigahz ovuh "in a corner" somewhere.
Now don't get me wrong. I kinda sorta like Uncle Mike. If I was still living in the city, I don't know if I'd vote for him, but then again, I don't know who else I'd vote for.* (See Editor's Note) There's some things good, some things bad about his reign as Mayor of NYC, like anyone else, but c'mon, he's at a party at the St. Regis Hotel where a bunch of OTHER World's Richest Men are, and reports from "inside" say at least 50 guys were smoking cigars and after at first denying it shortly after the event, he now says maybe some people WERE smoking over "in a corner" somewhere!?!?!?!??
He says "What was I supposed to do, call the cops?" Well, guess what, that's exactly what the Health Department SAYS he was supposed to do!!! Preposterous. Yeah, Uncle Mike's about to alienate people he's going to need to do big World's Richest Men business with when he goes back to private life, which may be after one term from what I hear from friends in the city, and he's going to rat them out because one third of the guys at the party decided to light up cigars? I DON'T THINK SO!!!
Anyway, it just goes to show how being a cigar smoker can lead one into situations that will give you a million laughs. You get interested in stuff like this as a cigar smoker and you follow certain news stories. One night sum udda Noo Yawkuh leaves a paper for you on the train coming down to work late at night and you get a laugh from a Mayor who's a pretty cute and funny guy at times.
It's all in the life of a cigar smoker.
*Editor's Note: For those of you who know me from "another web site" the mention of the Mayor of New York City does not mean that I will be doing All Bloofy, All The Thyme Radio as I did over there. Not that you won't be seeing The Great Dumboni around here in some of his various forms, but I am not here to discuss politics, not even on the politics forum, hot button social topics or make sport of certain celebrities and inject irreverence and bawdy humor as I did over there. I have renounced such behavior despite my popularity "over there" because of the reactions of a certain minority of individuals, and I was not welcomed over here with that behavior in mind.
Having said that, this story is just what I said it was, something humorous about our lives on this planet that a cigar smoker finds he can get a laugh out of. Please do not attempt to lure me into some of my old behavior because you will be disappointed at the thunderous silence that results.
