Liquorice pipes - ever seen anything so daft, they only do straight pipes now, they don't even look like pipes, when I asked the women selling them, she said we were lucky to have pipes at all with all the "no smoking" stuff going on!!
So does eating a liquorice pipe that looks like a pipe make people want to smoke tobacco...........!! |
