Invalid “Fed” Cigarettes on a Stick
Because a patient with two broken arms was unable to hold a cigarette, authorities in a St. Louis, Mo., hospital devised the odd six-foot holder pictured at the right. A roommate lights a cigarette, places it in a hole in the end of the stick, and holds it to his friend’s lips. To raise his body for the purpose, he uses a support suspended above his bed, as shown. A nail in the end of the holder is used to feed the patient candy.
“A nail in the end of the holder is used to feed the patient candy.”
… or to club the patient to death, maybe.

One wonders whether the “feeder” got a discount on his hospital bill for serving the cigarettes to his roommate.

Charlie,
What’s with the cigarette advertisements from this jerk?

It’s just spam. This blog gets a couple thousand spam comments a day. Normally the spam filter catches all but a dozen or so of those. I take care of the rest. You saw that one before I could kill it

Nothing like a little “bro-mance” to pick the ‘ol spirits up .
