Both my parents smoked. I don't know why I never picked it up. Then when i was assigned to the 10th I started smoking a pipe because i thought it woul make me look:
A. More German, and
B. Older

I was wrong on both counts.
Lost my pipe in the snow coming home drunk from the O club one night. Found it in the Spring but the urge had passed by then. Aged the pipe nicely though.

Both my folks died eventually. My mother in '98 from lung cancer and heart disease and my father in '07 from emphysema.
