Retirement Party or this is what hell must be like

Beautiful Wife was invited to the retirement party with some co-workers from a prior job. It was an ok time until everyone adjourned to the lounge at the Asia and proceeded to light up. The music was loud so you needed to be close to anyone to hear what they said. If you got close your conversation took place over the ashtray with a half dozen smouldering butts in your face.

I've been in the Army before and a room full of smoke gives me the same symptoms as when I was in a room full of tear gas. The Army's "tear gas" or chemical smoke is designed to give you the same symptoms you would have if exposed to a nerve agent. That cigarette smoke and nerve agent give you the same symptoms is kind of ironic, eh?
