If you have a
grandfather who dips the old powder form of smokeless tobacco, such as Rooster,
and a grandmother who is sweet enough to make chocolate snuff for the kids (by
simply mixing sugar and cocoa and putting it in an empty snuff can), then you
should consider yourself lucky. However,
on one such occasion if one of the snuff cans doesn’t completely empty of its
original contents, and it is given to a small child to clean, said child might
think it appropriate to blow it out real hard, resulting in eyes, mouth, and
nose full of snuff, thus deeming one “unlucky.” And if you don’t believe it can
happen that way, just ask Mark. I’m
almost certain that that was his first tobacco experience. More details to come perhaps.
