I didn't know volcanoes could blow smoke rings.

When I was a little fellow, I'd watch with fascination as Old Paco would blow smoke rings while puffing on a cigar. He'd sometime ask, "want to see me blow a square one?", and I always said that I'd like to see that, but he always said, "Well, maybe later, I'm about done with this one".
Old Paco sounds like he was a good'un.
ReplyDeleteHow old were you when you figured out he was pulling your leg? :-)
ReplyDeleteYou can't blow a square smoke ring.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be a ring then!
Kids are so gullible.

ReplyDeleteHe was, Mick, he certainly was.

What do you mean?
You can't blow a square smoke ring. It wouldn't be a ring then!
How about square smoke perimeters?
Well, at least the masses aren't in a panic due to belief that the rings portend some calamity. On-the-other-hand, others would read them as good omens.
