Hah! that chick's hysterical at the end.
When I did cigarette stings w/cops and stuff in high school, I preferred Marlboros, the red hard pack. Sometimes, though, I was in the mood for the gold soft pack.
My cabbage patch doll (ick) was a redhead. My dad loves redheads.
Yah, she totally looks uncomfortable and like get me outta here!
Didn't know you had a preference in cigarettes.
I can't even remember what my cabbage patch doll looked like. I much preferred my little pony, which is funny considering how much I dislike animals now.
