my best friend wants me dead

it seems i have a birthday gift from fro, waiting to be recieved. which means Marlboro wasn't the only one to get me something this year. still, fro's gonna have to try pret-ty hard to beat Marlboro's gift: a credit-card-shaped bottle opener.

good ole' Marlboro. never forgets my birthday. last year, i got a deck of playing cards & a "butt bag," an odor-proof pouch in which to temporarily store cigarette butts when there isn't an ash tray handy. like on the flight to vegas. and the cards! Marlboro must be psychic!

the year before that, i got a nifty little lighter cover which, when slipped easily over any standard-sized BIC lighter, transforms it into a fashionably antique-looking Marlboro lighter. that's in addition to the free Zippo i got for filling out the Marlboro mailing list in the 1st place.

Camel never sends me anything. you'd think Camel didn't even care if i was alive or dead. all i ever get is the occasional cigarette coupons. too occasional, in fact, causing me to have to use the coupons Marlboro sends to fill in the gaps. i like Camel so much better, but Marlboro knows how to treat a guy, ya know?

did i mention Marlboro also sent me a bar-be-que cookbook on the 4th of July? and a free cd, on a tuesday? yep, Marlboro's the best friend a guy could ever have.
