I had a dream 15+ years ago where I walked onto a school bus holding a 5ft long tube of fudge striped cookies over my shoulder and Peter Jennings looked up and said "Nice strip of cookies." I was so confused, I woke up and laughed.
This is may be the best thing I've ever read on Lemmy.
I'm glad you got a kick out of it. My wife still says the line to me a few times a year.
Was jennings the driver or a kid on the bus?
Hah, he was just a passenger!
And he rode and rode!
Cigarettes do not relieve stress- they only cause harm to the smoker and to those around them. Smoking is bad. Don’t smoke.
Edit: Wow, we’ve got a lot of smokers here on lemmy.
Yes dad
No shit. Feels fucking excellent every now and then, though.
YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I'M A MAN NOW!
Smoking actually isn’t bad for you as long as you’re pure of heart
With all this climate change and nothing being done about it + with the next four years being what they are I just might start.
Who is that man and what were the news?
A serious answer. That's Peter Jennings, he was the new anchor for ABC world news in the 90's and early 2000's. The picture in question if from 9/11. I remember because it was weird to me as a teenager to see someone smoking on live TV. Later, he died from lung cancer, and he gave a statement about it when he was diagnosed talking about how he smoked for many years and that he had quit for a long time but, in his words, was "weak" on 9/11 and smoked a few cigarettes. I don't know how old you are, but if there was ever a time to be like "Whelp, might as well burn one." it was 9/11.
Thanks for the explanation.
Yep... 9/11 especially for people in the USA was hard to live.
"Smoking causes cancer"
He did announce it while smoking??
