"Has Amnesty International heard about this?"
Tom Epstein,

"I can't stand cigarette smoke, but no one seems to care down at the Drink & Smoke & Drink & Smoke Tavern."
Jim Mackil,

"Now that New York has addressed the problem of secondhand smoke, maybe they'll tackle the problem of secondhand human-waste stench."
Dennis
McCormack,

"But what will I draw slowly on to indicate that I'm contemplating what's been said by my dinner companion?"
Elizabeth
Gabbay,
