  Me: {Reading Clement C. Moore's The Night Before Christmas}
          "His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
            His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
            And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
            The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
            And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;"

  L: WHAT?!? Santa smokes????
