TT asks: Why do you prefer cigarettes over a girlfriend

It is time the world knows one BIG secret: Time Travelling is possible and there is this Time Travelling interviewer , Mr. TT, working for....obviously TIME Magazine..who keeps asking you questions even though you cant see him. I have thankfully noticed this guy and so let me begin a series on the various questions he has asked me.....

This question was put forward by the time-travelling interviewer(Mr. TT) to the greatest philospher of all times(no no its not me :) ) Mr. Plato and he replied: "What are cigarettes?" This was because cigarettes werent invented till then. So when he came to me I didnt know what to say becoz I dont "use" either....[yes dear mates..I DO NOT HAVE A GIRLFRIEND YET :( ]

So after pondering over this question during the time I was supposed to study for my exams I have come up with quite a few logical or critical arguments in favour and against it...

TT: Why do you prefer cigarettes over a girlfriend?
Me:
1. I can smoke a cigarette that even my best friend has lit...

2. I can safely say that my cigarette is as HOT as anyone else's!!

3. It will give me the same satisfaction even 30 years later...

4. It costs a lot less money to have a cigarette...

TT: So What is the similarity between a cigarette and a girlfriend?
Me:
1. I always keep my cigarette close to my heart....

2. I can put my lips on my cigarette in public without feeling ashamed

3. Whatever the brand, it always makes me feel warm and comfortable even if it is in the biting cold or when i am down and out due to depression

4. Its magic disappears after a few puffs!!

TT: Thank you Mr. Sadashiv for your response...I shall come back again when i sense that you have nothing else to do. So till then bye bye!

Me: Wait Mr.TT! You never told me why you asked me these questions or for that matter the questions you will ask me..

TT: Don't worry about that Mr.Sadashiv, you will know when the TIME comes.....
