My grandfather was hiding a lit cigarette from his father (by putting it in his pocket), but his father had already seen it. So his father kept the conversation going while my grandfather is getting more agitated because of his smoldering pocket...

Now that I'm older and have three boys myself, it would be interesting to talk to my great-grandfather to see what other hijinks my grandfather got himself into.

I've worked on building sites where it was seen as a laugh to drop a lit cigarette butt in the back pocket of someone's overalls. It wouldn't catch light but it would smoulder until they noticed, which could be when there was a 6 inch hole in them, if they were working outside.

Some years back, when my sister and her friend were chilling in our back yard, my dad caught them with a pack of cigarette. I think my sister and her friend were around 14 yrs old at the time. When my dad questioned them, the friend said the cigarettes didn’t belong to them, it belonged to her brother, Iz. When he asked, well then why wasn’t the cigarettes with Iz, she responded, “Because Iz doesn’t have pockets in his pants.”
