It was two Great Finds, actually.


Smoking is assault...

I agree! It's literally being forced to share someone's drug addiction. I wonder if the authorities would be more stringent if heroin users were also required to feed a bit of that junk to anyone who came within a certain distance of them.

Anyway, though, back to the matters at hand.

Maybe it's a sign of a new boob-naming trend... I hope so.

Who cares?

They do remind me of those spring-loaded bumpers they have on train cars.
