Up in Smoke

The trouble with conventions - besides the bad hotel bar booze, the lousy chicken plates and the hookers - is that delegates get antsy and start proposing all manner of nutty resolutions.

No greater example than some emerging from the current gathering of the Canadian Medical Ass-Ociation. The good doctors, perceptibly out of touch with most realities, have now proposed, among other dillies, that the government should pass a law banning smoking in cars that are carrying children.

Hahahaha...

And how, exactly, you might ask these impractical practitioners, will this be enforced?

No banning smoking in cars, which would be difficult enough to enact and enforce, but ban smoking in cars with children.

How about banning smoking in cars with left-handed people or women wearing Chanel #5?

And what exactly are these docs smoking between learned symposia?
