[ale] WAY OT: Cancer Pic?

[da Black Baron]

Only thing is the headshrinkers say that trying to scare someone into
doing something doesn't work...  In fact, it may actually encourage the
behavior- especially among risk-taking personalities (i.e. people prone
to skydiving, rock-climbing, roller-coasters, et al).

Rather than trying to scare 'em, explain how it makes their teeth
yellow, their fingers yellow, their breath bad, and their clothes
stink.  Explain the costliness of the habit, and the utter boredom of it
all...

"Here's my family tree.  As far as I can tell, my
relatives were carnival folk who were touring this place called
Hiroshima in the summer of 1945.  Because they lost most of their hair,
they mostly married each other.  And here I am." --The Oblongs
