Of course, no person is sitting there because they all died in their 60s. Go to IMDB, look up an old movie, and see how many of them died "young," as we would say today. Using nicotine took its toll.

Unfiltered, menthol, Lites, Clove flavored or the kind that cowboy who died of lung cancer recommended?
ReplyDeleteYou're ALL wrong....I don't see one single ash tray in the picture!
ReplyDeleteHA!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a candidate for James Lileks’ Interior Desecrations.
ReplyDeleteOur first couch had a similar pattern, 1984.
