Sounds divine.

I've never smoked, except secondhand . . . and maybe salmon.

My mother was once asked if I smoked. Mother shook her head and said: 'I believe he gave up when his was 13.'

She was not wrong.

The things mothers just seem to know, and the things they just can't understand.

chop suey (Has anyone ever actually eaten chop suey . . . or is it a mythical creation? Like a pan galactic gargle blaster?)

It is. I regularly get it at my local Chinese take-out.
It's very tasty.

They (cigs) were only called "Coffin Nails" AFTER the medical fuss about cancer & smoking got going. I gave up when I got a nasty cough (H1N1 flu or similar, where the pills made it worse than the problem.
When I got cancer, I was asked by this big butch nurse, in a loud voice,
"Do you Smoke?"
Resisting the temptation to respond that I sometimes smoked, but only if the Lady was particularly active and smoking herself, I replied,
"NO"
in a firm and clear voice.
There was a distinct pause, with assorted smiles among those present.
The nurse spent the next few moments ticking little boxes on her forms.

Little boxes, on the hillside
All made out of ticky tacky
Little boxes, little boxes
And they all look just the same.

HP, "Chop Suey" is a dish one can get in some American and Canadian Chinese Restaurants. It has been proposed that it derives from a derogatory American term for Chinese food (Chop = chopped, and Suey = Sooey - the call for pigs to come get their slops), but an Anthropologist (we're inclined to do such things) has traced it back to a dish in rural China called tsap seui (miscellaneous vegetables) which farmers made from the unsold remnants of the day's vegetables.
