As I’m quietly smoking a pipe and reading a book, a little boy and his father walk by. The kid sees my pipe and asks his dad if he can ever smoke a pipe. Dad replies in a stern voice: “you can never smoke a pipe, its not healthy!” You would think I was smoking a crack pipe the way Daddy O responded !

Hahahaha. A crack pipe is a lot more common up your way. Probably less frowned upon too.
Blame cigarettes.

Saying no to kids is a sure way to get them to want to do something. I say mission accomplished.  |

For that pressure being put on society not to smoke pipes,Restrictions on where you can smoke,and rising prices..I sincerely believe that in 20 or so years from now there won't be enough pipe smokers around for it to be profitable enough for companies to concern themselves with pipe smoking...I would like to think I'm wrong but I kinda believe we're the last generation of pipe smokers.

 Had my 6 yr old Grandson a while back, for the summer, got him a cob pipe and he pretend smoked with me, taught him to pee on the cat off the porch. Went back home , got off the school bus reached in his backpack put his cob in his mouth, went to tree in front yard and whizzed on it. Got a call from my daughter asking me what I had taught him, told her I taught him how to be a boy.!

When we take the foreboding out of a curiosity today, we de-fuse the temptation that will visit tomorrow.

It's just how we do things. Hell, 2 of my boys dropped their pants and crapped in the yard before. I blame the dogs on that one. |

Taught my 3 year old son to pee in the yard earlier this year. One day I come around the garage, and he's out by his dirt pile (his favorite thing ever). Pants down to his shoes, with a stream any grown man would be proud of, arcing at least 15 feet. I was a little amazed. He was proud as punch when he looked at me with a huge grin.

When my brother worked on a house in Yuba City, I helped him on a job, Indian family lived in it (from India)...Grandpa, who lived with the family, never pissed in the house it seemed and he marked his spot every-time we went on break in our work area.... blazing hot sun steaming the curry laced piss... it would make a skunk vomit. I don’t even want to know where he took a dump. With that family, I hope the practice ended with pops.  |

My dad taught me to smoke pipe just by smoking pipe.
My dad taught me to fly fish by teaching me how to cast.
My dad taught me to play music by not letting me touch his ukulele, or even open the case.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I think that the local pipe club can help the community going forward. The internet is a great tool for pipe smokers to connect, but to congregate at a B&M and have face to face time is a much more rewarding experience, and fosters the brotherhood in a way that you just cannot do smoking your pipe and typing on a keyboard. If the pipe community is to thrive into the future, I think that the old way of people getting together physically, and with the benefit of personal interaction adds a dimension that cannot be replicated digitally, and the local tobacconist provides the venue in which to bring it together. |

I learned to piss in the woods as a toddler. I learned to crap in the woods in the Scouts. I learned to roll cigarettes from my great uncles in East Texas. I started smoking a pipe on my own just because I wanted to. I don't know what the future holds with no tobacco to smoke. The next generation will look at pipe smoking the way I look at chewing tobacco and pickled pig's feet.
My son would never piss outside. Never has although I tried to raise him right. He will be helping me in our half acre, heavily wooded and fenced back yard and drop everything to go into the house when there's 30 perfectly good trees right there.

Hard to argue with that logic. Smoking together with friends allows the whole world to slow down for a little while. It's one of the few pleasures in life nowadays that has that same effect. |

We have an Indian smoke shop, but they don't carry anything I would smoke. Dozens of Smoke shops though. |

I don’t even want to know where he took a dump. With that family, I hope the practice ended with pops. My older brother lived next door to Chinese. The grandfather crapped on the vegie garden every morning. Off course it's a health risk so my brother rang the local council. He said he could barely control himself from bursting out laughing as he heard the council inspector explaining to the Chinese while in their backyard [who translated for the grandfather] that crapping in the garden was a health risk and would not be tolerated. They argued back until the council inspector told them they'd be fined if it continued. That changed their attitude real quick. |

We had a couple golfers get popped for public urination on the golf course because some women saw them and called the cops. You have to be careful where you whizz these days. One does need to be careful. My boy was busting one day so I took him behind a tree. He was 4yo. I explained that he needed to choose a spot that was discreet and to enjoy the freedom to piss outside while he could because once he hits a certain age, it's no longer acceptable. My sons mother remarried into a wealthy family [Old German money that goes way back] While still dating the guy she'd lecture my boy on correct behaviour as she was doing everything she could to impress. So I taught my son, who was around 5yo at the time, to say to the prospective grandmother-in-law, 'Where's the dunny luv? I'm really hanging for a slash.' My boy has always had a keen sense of humour and thought this hilarious. When he met his prospective granny to be and asked to be shown the bathroom in my suggested colloquial fashion, his mother was livid. |
