The Cigarette Story.

 

A man, desperate to give up smoking, read an advertisement in the

local newspaper, which read:

 

WANT TO MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE? SEND 5 DOLLARS FOR AN

INSTANT AND GUARANTEED CURE FOR SMOKING.

 

Intrigued and thinking that, having tried everything else, he had

nothing much to lose, he duly sent off his money and waited for the

miracle cure to arrive on his door step.

 

Sure enough, a few days later, a small envelope arrived and, although

disappointed at its size, the man eagerly tore it open.

 

Inside was a small card on which were the words:

 

INSTANT AND GUARANTEED CURE FOR SMOKING

1. DO NOT BUY ANY CIGARETTES.

2. DO NOT BORROW ANY FROM A FRIEND.

 

Moral: We might say we want to change, but are we really prepared to

take action ourselves?
