Smoking Lipton Tea

[Alan Rhodes]

This one is kind of risque, but I just had to include it. When I was a waiter, I rolled a Lipton Tea cigarette. I was sitting in front of the waiter's bunk at night, smoking this thing, which didn't taste real well. All of a sudden, the Head Counselor, Ray Senzer, pounced on me with his ultra bright flashlight. It was like out of a "Cops" episode from TV. He was so proud that he had busted me for what he thought was something entirely different. He hauled me in and threatened to call my parents. Around this time, I told him that it was Lipton Tea in the cigarette. He smelled it and realized that it was indeed tea. He was bummed that the big bust had gone sour.
