I’m downstairs doing laundry and

I’m downstairs doing laundry and there’s this shirt hanging near the machines, it’s gotta be from my landlady’s family.  It’s longsleeved and white cotton with bright red stripes and colorful polygons all over it, which on closer examination are supposed to be cigarette boxes, except for one that’s a lighter that reads “1932 - Zippo - 1932.” Makes decent sense.  The other cigarettes have names like “Khamel - Paris” (okay), “Major Brand” (starting to lose me here), and “Miity Twigum” (or “minty twigum”?).  Sounds incoherently refreshing.  The funny thing is that these people don’t smoke.  Reminds me of Ol’ Bombala’s reference to this....
