... So this guy gives up smoking and he reckons he saves enough in a year to get himself two jackets and a transistor radio and a gold watch and a new suit. On top of which he reckons he feels a lot better for it. Me, I still smoke thirty a day and I haven't got two jackets or a transistor radio or a gold watch or a new suit. But man have I got a shockin' cough! Reginald Mount Bears Central Office of Information number: SM.22 Bears number (after printer's name) : Dd. 167950-10/65-8494
