Everyone tells me to quit smoking.
Maggie*: "Why do you hate yourself? Don't do this."
Ingrid*: "It's NOT gonna help you lose weight."
My boss: "Try the new Smoke-Less thingamajig."
My boss: "No smoking at work when kids are around."
My parents: "Stop smoking."
My friends: "Stop smoking."
Dully (7 years old): "DO YOU WANNA DIE?!"
My cigarettes: "Smoking is dangerous to your health."

The thing is, it is man's nature to SEE FOR HIMSELF.
I give people all kinds of advice. I don't mind when they don't listen. It's also man's nature to give advice.

I want to meet Al-rajul Al-3ankaboot. I have said his name approximately 63 times just the past week; averaging 9 times a day.

Growing up in SA, my brother and I often enjoyed getting lost in translations like that. My last favorite was 'bareed al aswad' as in 'blackmail'.
Lesson learned: innocence during infancy, especially with boys, can be cute or even annoying, but once you start to talk (between 4 and 12) , then it's just downright lame.
